COCONUT ORANGE SHRIMP

I love coconut shrimp. I came across this recipe in my newspaper one day and though to try it. It is outstanding. The hot sauce gives it the right amount of spice to go with the sweet of the coconut. Prep time includes marinating time.

This is the perfect dipping sauce for coconut shrimp, similar to what is served in many restaurant chains. It would also be great with chicken strips. Add more or or less hot sauce according to taste.

  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the shrimp. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are just cooked through. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
  • Make sure the sauce is simmering before adding the shrimp. This will help to prevent the sauce from curdling.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately with rice or noodles.
