It is a simple recipe for fried shrimp.
Dip large shrimp in beaten egg and then dip in ground up macadamia nuts. I follwed the directions, gently placing them in 1/4 inch olive oil in a sillet and turning only once.
Almost all the macadamia nut coating fell off! Have you made anything similar and did your coating stay on?

You did one of three things wrong. One, you either did not grind the nuts to a small enough size or you didn't use enough egg (try thickening the egg wash with a touch of flour or some other filler) or your oil wasn't hot enough when you put the shrimp in. Try and try again, no one gets stuff like that right to begin with.....Good luck. Oh, can I come over for dinner.....Ha ha ha

It sounds like your olive oil was not hot enough. Here's a trick I saw on the Food Network, and it really works:
While heating oil for frying, place the handle of a wooden spoon into oil. If foamy bubbles appear around the base of the spoon's handle , then it is ready for frying. You may have to dip the handle in several times before seeing the bubbles, but keep trying until you see them.
Next time you try this recipe, try that little trick -- and I hope you have better results. Goodness, macadamia nuts are expensive! What an expensive way to learn such a "cheap" lesson. Best dishes!

It sounds as if the oil in the pan, or the pan itself was not hot enough. Did you preheat the pan? Did you heat the oil before you put the shrimp in?
Also, next time I would allow the coated shrimp to "crust" for 15 minutes or so before placing them in the oil to fry. By "crust" I mean allow them to sit on a rack or plate after you've coated them.
I hope I've helped.

in the adventure that your baking soda became previous they does not upward thrust properly and may well be dense like cornbread. additionally, in case you probably did no longer cream the butter and sugar long adequate they may well be dense. in all probability you probably did no longer degree the flour genuine and it became too plenty flour - what I advise is which you're meant to gently spoon the flour into the measuring cup, no longer scoop it up with it. I used to apply the measuring cup as a scoop and each little thing I made became greater dense than it is going to have been. perhaps attempt to alter all 3 of those issues and that they'll prove stable. stable success!

Dry your shrimp first.
Dredge it in flour.
Dip it in egg mixture.
Roll it in FINE ground macadamias.
Sautee away!!!!
Should turn out just fine.
Good luck!!!

This is the secret :: next time make sure your shrimp are completely DRY. The moisture on them will make any coating fall off!

Necessary to dredge shrimp thru flour first , then egg or milk, then roll in nuts.

Coatings like that can be tough - were they ground fine enough? Also, was the oil hot enough when you put them in the pan?

Dip in batter then eggs then batter again...
