GF Coconut Shrimp

My son loves coconut shrimp and has been begging me to make some. So, the other day, I decided to go for it. They came out so amazing, I had to share!!

Gluten Free Coconut Shrimp

20-30- Raw shrimp, peeled and de-veined

1/2-3/4 cup Gluten Free Flour

1/4 cup Gluten Free Bread Crumbs

1/8 tsp cayenne

1-2 cups Vanilla Coconut Milk

2 1/2 cups coconut (unsweetened, shredded)

2 eggs, beaten

Peel and de-vein shrimp. Pour vanilla coconut milk over shrimp and let soak at least 30 minutes.

In one bowl, combine 1/2 cup flour and cayenne

In a separate bowl, combine bread crumbs and coconut

In another bowl, beat eggs.

Take shrimp out of coconut milk, dredge in flour mixture, then egg, then coconut/bread crumb mixture.  Lay on parchment paper.

Heat oil in deep fryer or cast iron skillet to 350 degrees.

If you're using a deep fryer, put four shrimp in at a time for 1 minute 30 seconds...drain on paper towel.

If you are using a cast iron skillet, cook shrimp 30-45 seconds on each side, until golden brown.

Drain on paper towels.

Sauce:

1 cup orange marmalade
3 Tbsp Sweet Thai Chili Sauce
1-2 Tbsp lemon juice

Microwave for 1 minute until bubbly, then add lemon juice and stir.


ENJOY!!!
