Rinse shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, whisk together coconut milk and 2 TBSP water. In a separate large bowl, stir together panko and coconut flakes.
Add shrimp to bowl with batter; stir until evenly coated. Working a few pieces at a time, let any excess batter drip off and add shrimp to panko mixture. Gently toss until evenly coated. Transfer coated shrimp to a plate.
Heat a ā -inch layer of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once oil is hot enough that a drop of batter sizzles when added to pan, add coated shrimp in an even layer. TIP: Donāt overcrowd the pan! You may need to work in batches. Cook until shrimp begin to brown, 1-3 minutes. (Lower heat if shrimp begin to brown too quickly.) Flip and cook until golden brown all over, 1-2 minutes more. Transfer shrimp to a paper-towel-lined plate. Season with salt.
Place crispy coconut shrimp on a serving dish. Serve with sweet chili sauce on the side for dipping.
