6. Heat the coconut oil in a cast iron skillet to 360°F.
7. Once to temperature, carefully place the shrimp in the hot oil. Don’t put more than 8 shrimp in at a time as to not reduce temperature.
8. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes.
9. Transfer the shrimp to a paper towel lined plate to soak up any extra oil.

For the Dipping Sauce
1. Mix all the sauce ingredients up in a bowl.

Note
Make sure your oil is the right temperature! If it is too hot, your shrimp will take on a grayish burnt look. If it is too cold, your shrimp won’t have that nice crisp and may become overcooked.

Enjoy! 🙂
