Ingredients:

• shrimp (peeled and deveined) – 500g
• coconut flakes – 100g
• flour – 50g

• salt – 1 tsp
• black pepper – 1/2 tsp
• taco shells – 8
• shredded cabbage – 150g

Kitchen Tools:

• frying pan
• mixing bowls

Start by preparing the shrimp. In a bowl, mix together the coconut flakes, flour, salt, and black pepper. Dip each shrimp in the beaten egg, then coat it in the coconut mixture. Heat some oil in a frying pan over medium heat and fry the shrimp until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

While the shrimp are frying, warm the taco shells in the oven according to the package instructions. Once the shrimp are done, assemble the tacos by filling each shell with shredded cabbage, crispy coconut shrimp, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.

Serve the Crispy Coconut Shrimp Tacos hot and enjoy the delightful combination of crunchy coconut, juicy shrimp, and zesty lime. This dish weighs approximately 1000g in total, makes 4 servings, with each serving averaging around 250g. One serving is estimated to be around 400 calories.

One unique tip for this recipe is to toast the coconut flakes before coating the shrimp for an extra layer of flavor and crunch. It takes the dish to the next level!
