Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Spread the 1 lb frozen fries on a baking sheet and bake until golden and crispy, about 20-25 minutes, shaking halfway.
Step 2
While fries bake, set up three shallow bowls: one with 0.5 cup flour, one with 2 beaten eggs, and one with 1 cup coconut and 0.5 cup panko mixed together.
Step 3
Pat the 1 lb shrimp dry. Dip each shrimp in flour, then egg, then coconut mixture, pressing gently to coat. Place on a plate.
Step 4
Heat 0.5 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry shrimp in batches, not crowding the pan, until golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Step 5
Drain shrimp on paper towels. Thinly slice the 0.5 red onion and cut the lime into wedges.
Step 6
Serve shrimp with fries, red onion, and lime wedges for squeezing over.
