Coconut Shrimp Bowls


I forgot how delicious coconut shrimp was until I was playing around with Wildly Organic's ingredients and was immediately inspired to come up with this recipe! These shrimpies are the perfect combo of sweet, savory & crispy. These are a great appetizer or you can make them your main meal and serve with some rice & veggies.


Makes: 25-30 shrimp, or 4 servings as bowls

COCONUT SHRIMP:

1 lb large peeled & deveined shrimp, patted dry

¼ cup almond flour

1 tsp salt

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp coconut sugar (omit if using sweetened shredded coconut)

2 eggs, whisked

½ cup panko

3-4 tbsp coconut oil, for cooking


DIPPING SAUCE (makes 1/2 cup)

¼ cup apricot preserves

¼ cup sweet chili sauce


SUGGESTED FOR SERVING

3-4 cups coconut rice or jasmine rice

1 cup cucumbers, chopped & tossed in a little bit of coconut aminos & rice vinegar

1 cup edamame, tossed in a little bit of coconut aminos & rice vinegar

1/3 cup green onions, thinly sliced


  1. Rinse shrimp in cold water then pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

  2. Set up 3 shallow bowls:

    1. Bowl 1: whisk together almond flour, salt, garlic powder, & coconut sugar (omit if using sweetened shredded coconut).

    2. Bowl 2: whisk together the eggs & coconut aminos.

    3. Bowl 3: whisk together the shredded coconut & panko.

  3. Dredge shrimp in flour mixture, then dip in the egg mixture, then finally dip in the coconut mixture, coating it well. Place coated shrimp on a plate and repeat until all shrimp is coated.

  4. Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Make sure there is plenty of oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Once oil is hot, add shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2 minutes per side until golden brown, lowering heat if it seems like it’s burning.

  5. Cook in batches & don’t overcrowd the pan. Transfer to a clean plate and let cool. 

  6. For the sauce, whisk together apricot preserves & sweet chili sauce until combined.

  7. Serve as an appetizer, or serve with rice & veggies for a delicious bowl!
