Categories     HarperCollins     Shellfish     Seafood     Shrimp     Dinner     Taco     Coconut     Salsa     Mango     Cilantro     Avocado     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

For the shrimp:
Coconut or avocado oil cooking spray
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
½ teaspoon paprika
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 egg
1 pound medium wild shrimp, peeled, deveined, and tails removed
For the salsa:
1 cup diced mango or pineapple
½ cup diced red bell pepper
¼ cup diced red onion
Zest and juice of 1 medium lime
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or mint
For the sauce:
1 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro
1 medium avocado
Juice of 1 medium lime
1 garlic clove
½ teaspoon ground cumin
Pinch of cayenne
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
For serving:
Small (gluten-free) corn tortillas or lettuce cups, finely shredded purple cabbage, avocado slices

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place a wire rack on top of a large baking sheet, coat with cooking spray, and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the coconut and paprika and season with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon water.
  • Make an assembly line with the shrimp, egg wash, coconut mixture, and prepared baking sheet. Dip the shrimp in the egg wash, then dredge in the coconut, lightly shaking off any excess, then place the coated shrimp on the baking rack. Repeat with the remaining shrimp, spacing them out evenly on the baking rack so they will get crispy instead of steaming.
  • Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until the shrimp are cooked through and the coconut has started to brown.
  • While the shrimp are cooking, make the salsa and sauce. In a medium bowl, toss together the salsa ingredients and set aside.
  • In a food processor or high-powered blender, add the sauce ingredients and ⅓ cup water. Pulse until smooth, adjusting the seasonings to your taste. If desired, spoon the sauce into a small zip-top bag and cut the tip off of one of the bottom corners (like you would to make a piping bag for icing), just enough to make a small hole. This will make it easier to drizzle your sauce more evenly, but you could also just use a spoon.
  • To assemble the tacos, place 3 to 4 shrimp on a tortilla or lettuce cup, top with shredded cabbage, a spoonful of salsa, and an avocado slice. Pipe or drizzle the sauce over the top.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cooked shrimp or prawns.
  • If you don't have coconut flakes, you can use panko breadcrumbs instead.
  • Make sure the coconut shrimp is cooked through before serving. It should be golden brown and opaque inside.
  • Serve the coconut shrimp with mango salsa and your favorite dipping sauce.
  • For a healthier version, bake the coconut shrimp instead of frying it.

Conclusion:

Coconut shrimp with mango salsa is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. It's perfect for any occasion, from casual get-togethers to formal dinner parties. The sweet and savory flavors of the shrimp and mango pair perfectly together, and the coconut coating adds a touch of tropical flair. Whether you're serving it as an appetizer or a main course, coconut shrimp with mango salsa is sure to be a hit with your guests.
