SWEET-AND-SOUR ORANGE SAUCE
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.

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.
