Coconut Shrimp

  • Ingredients:

  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • 2 pounds fresh shrimp, peeled
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 cups flaked coconut
  • 1 cup vegetable oil, more as needed
  • Directions:

  1. Place cornstarch in small bowl. Place shrimp in bowl and toss to coat well.
  2. In separate medium bowl, combine coconut milk and lime juice; dunk shrimp in mixture and shake off excess liquid.
  3. Place flaked coconut in small bowl. Add shrimp and toss to coat.
  4. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet over high heat; when hot, gently add shrimp and fry until golden brown.
Serve these up alongside something green and fresh, such as a spinach salad or broccoli sauté. When choosing wine, a white wine of any sort would work well; choose your favorite and enjoy.
