Crispy Coconut Shrimp Taco Recipe

Today’s Special Recipe: Crispy Coconut Shrimp Tacos

Hey foodies! Today, I’m excited to share with you my recipe for Crispy Coconut Shrimp Tacos. I was inspired by a recent trip to the beach, where I indulged in some amazing seafood tacos. The combination of crispy shrimp, sweet coconut, and tangy slaw is absolutely mouthwatering. Whether you’re craving a taste of summer or just looking to shake up your Taco Tuesday routine, these tacos are sure to impress!

Ingredients:

• 400g shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 100g coconut flakes
• 50g cornstarch
• 50g all-purpose flour
• 1 egg
• for frying
• 8 small tortillas
• 1/2 head of cabbage, shredded
• 1 lime, juiced
• 50g mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp sriracha sauce
• to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• frying pan
• mixing bowls
• tongs
• sharp knife
• cutting board

To start, mix the coconut flakes, cornstarch, and flour in a bowl. In another bowl, beat the egg. Dip each shrimp in the egg wash, then coat it in the coconut mixture. Heat oil in a frying pan and fry the shrimp until golden brown and crispy. Remove and let drain on a paper towel.

In a separate bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, lime juice, mayonnaise, sriracha, and salt to make the slaw. Mix well and set aside.

Warm the tortillas in a dry pan until soft and pliable. To assemble the tacos, place a spoonful of slaw on a tortilla, top with crispy coconut shrimp, and garnish with additional lime wedges or sriracha if desired.

Serve your Crispy Coconut Shrimp Tacos hot and enjoy the combination of flavors and textures. The crunchy shrimp, sweet coconut, and spicy slaw create the perfect bite!

This recipe yields approximately 8 tacos. Each serving weighs about 150g. One serving of these delicious tacos is around 300 calories.

Pro tip: For an extra crispy coating, you can double dip the shrimp in the egg and coconut mixture before frying. This will result in an even crunchier texture that will have your taste buds singing!

I hope you give these Crispy Coconut Shrimp Tacos a try and make them your own with your favorite toppings and seasonings. Happy cooking!
