Crispy Coconut Shrimp with Mango Salsa

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m sharing a recipe that’s perfect for the summer season. Nothing screams summer like the flavors of coconut and mango, so I’ve combined them in this delicious dish of crispy coconut shrimp with a zesty mango salsa. It’s the perfect dish for a backyard barbecue or a casual dinner with friends.

Ingredients:

  • 500g shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 150g coconut flakes
  • 50g cornstarch
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 ripe mangoes, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeno, seeded and diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

  • baking sheet
  • mixing bowls
  • frying pan
  • knife
  • cutting board

Start by preheating your oven to 200°C. In a shallow bowl, mix together the coconut flakes and cornstarch. Dip each shrimp into the beaten eggs, then coat them in the coconut mixture. Place the coated shrimp on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and crispy.

While the shrimp are baking, prepare the mango salsa. In a bowl, combine the diced mango, red onion, jalapeno, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld together.

Once the shrimp are crispy, remove them from the oven and serve with the mango salsa on the side. The combination of crunchy coconut shrimp and sweet-tangy mango salsa is simply irresistible.

This recipe serves 4 people, with each serving weighing approximately 200g. One serving of this dish is around 350 calories.

One clever tip for this dish is to add a touch of cayenne pepper to the coconut coating for a spicy kick. It will take this dish to a whole new level of flavor!

I hope you give this crispy coconut shrimp with mango salsa a try. It’s a delightful dish that’s sure to impress your family and friends. Feel free to make it your own by adding your favorite spices or herbs. Enjoy!
