Sweet Mustard Dipping Sauce
Directions
Place shrimp into a large bowl, sprinkle baking soda and kosher salt and toss to coat. SmellaQue Pro Tip: baking soda can change the pH of shrimp to be more alkaline and creating a better “bouncy” bite versus being more soft. Salt adds great flavor.
- Place bowl of shrimp into refrigerator for 15 minutes or more.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix Sweet Mustard Zing sauce – honey mustard, apple butter, kosher salt and apple cider vinegar. Set aside.
- If grilling, preheat grill. If baking, preheat oven to 425ºF.
- On a pan, place sweetened shredded coconut into oven for 5 to toast. Stir shredded coconut and toast until lightly brown, another 2-5 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
- Once shredded coconut is cool, place into food processor on pulse on high until pieces are smaller.
- In a medium sized bowl, stir together toasted shredded coconut and Panko bread crumbs.
- In a medium sized bowl, stir together flour dredge – flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, kosher salt and black pepper. Set aside.
- In a medium sized bowl, stir together milk dredge – milk, apple butter, honey mustard.
- Take shrimp out of the refrigerator and rinse under cold water to wash away the baking soda. Drain excess water.
Arrange dredge bowls in this order: flour dredge, milk dredge, coconut dredge, baking sheet with parchment paper.
