Use three medium sized bowls for breading prep. Combine the flour, kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder in one bowl. Beat the eggs together in a second bowl. Combine the panko breadcrumbs and coconut in the third bowl.

Dredge both sides of the shrimp through the flour, then dip each one into the eggs, and then bread the shrimp into the coconut and panko breading. Press the shrimp gently into the breading so the coconut sticks well. Set the coated shrimp aside on a plate as you coat the remaining shrimp.

Add enough vegetable oil about 2 inches deep in a cast iron skillet or dutch oven over medium heat. Fry the coconut shrimp in batches, never overcrowd or the oil will cool down. Fry for two minutes, then flip and fry the other side for another two minutes or until golden brown.

Place the finished coconut shrimp on wire rack over a baking sheet to drip off excess oil.

Sprinkle with a pinch of extra kosher salt and serve.
