# # 👩🍳 Cooking Steps
**1️⃣ Prepare the Shrimp**
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
**2️⃣ Prepare the Coating**
Place the flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and combine the breadcrumbs with shredded coconut in a third bowl.
**3️⃣ Coat the Shrimp**
Dip each shrimp into the flour, then the egg, and finally the coconut-breadcrumb mixture. Press gently so the coating sticks well.

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the shrimp in batches for about 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and crispy and the shrimp are fully cooked. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
**5️⃣ Make the Dipping Sauce**
Mix the sweet chilli sauce, mayonnaise, lime juice, and honey in a small bowl until smooth.
**6️⃣ Serve and Enjoy**
Arrange the crispy coconut shrimp on a serving plate and serve immediately with the dipping sauce and fresh lime wedges.
