Cooking instruction summary:
Procedures 1 Fill a cast iron skillet halfway with oil, and heat over medium to medium-high heat until the oil reaches 350 degrees F. 2 While the oil is heating, set up a breading station. Place three bowls next to each other. In the first, put the flour. In the second, the egg white whisked with water. In the third, the coconut and panko. Add salt to the flour and coconut mixture, and combine thoroughly with a fork. 3 Dredge the shrimp first in flour, then in egg, and finally in panko-coconut, shaking off any excess between steps.

Drain on paper towel. 4 Season the hot shrimp with salt, and serve with lime wedges immediately.
