SWEET-AND-SOUR ORANGE SAUCE

Sweet-and-Sour Orange Sauce image

I was in the mood for some egg rolls and, when trying to think of something to go with them, I opened the fridge and saw way too many oranges. Not finding an orange sweet-and-sour sauce, I made my own. This is sweet and sour with a bit of spice and a beautiful, yet light, orange taste. Perfect over egg rolls, shrimp, chicken, rice, or even stir-fried veggies.

Serve shrimp with sweet and sour soy sauce.

Tips:

For the best results, use fresh, unsweetened coconut flakes. If you only have sweetened flakes, reduce the amount of sugar in the breading mixture.
Be sure to coat the shrimp evenly with the breading mixture. This will help them to stay crispy and flavorful.
Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the shrimp. This will cause them to steam instead of fry, and they won't be as crispy.
Cook the shrimp until they are golden brown and cooked through. This will take about 2-3 minutes per side.
Serve the shrimp immediately with the sweet and sour orange sauce. The sauce can be made ahead of time and reheated just before serving.

Conclusion:

This Coconut Shrimp with Sweet and Sour Orange Sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. The shrimp are crispy and flavorful, and the sauce is tangy and sweet. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
