Method
- Combine scallops, garlic, and lemon juice in large bowl. Stir gently to coat. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.
- Add enough oil to Dutch oven or deep heavy-bottomed saucepan to come 1 .5 inches (4 cm) up the side. Heat over medium heat until deep-fryer thermometer reads 350°F (180°C).
- Meanwhile, place flour in shallow dish. Lightly beat eggs in separate bowl. Stir together breadcrumbs and coconut in separate shallow dish.
- Drain PC scallops, discarding lemon juice mixture. Working with 1 at a time, dredge scallops in flour, shaking off excess; dip in egg, letting excess drip back into bowl, then press into bread crumb mixture, turning to coat all over. Transfer to plate.
- Working in small batches, add scallops to hot oil. Cook, turning once, until golden, crispy, and opaque throughout, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to separate paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
- For the Sriracha mayo: Stir together mayonnaise and Sriracha in small bowl. Serve with scallops.
