Crispy Coconut Shrimp Tacos

Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that captures the vibrant flavors of summer with a unique twist. These Crispy Coconut Shrimp Tacos are a perfect balance of crunchy, savory, and sweet, making them a delightful meal for any occasion.

To make these delectable tacos, you will need the following ingredients:

  • fresh shrimp (300g, peeled and deveined)
  • unsweetened coconut flakes (50g)
  • all-purpose flour (50g)
  • egg (1, beaten)
  • corn tortillas (4)
  • red cabbage (100g, shredded)
  • avocado (1, sliced)
  • lime wedges (for serving)
  • fresh cilantro (for garnish)

Prepare the shrimp by patting them dry with paper towels, then coat them in flour, dip in beaten egg, and finally coat with unsweetened coconut flakes. Heat oil in a skillet and fry the shrimp until crispy and golden brown. Remove them from the pan and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

Next, warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet until they are soft and pliable. Fill each tortilla with a generous portion of crispy coconut shrimp, shredded red cabbage, sliced avocado, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for a burst of citrusy flavor.

For this recipe, you will need the following kitchen tools:

  • skillet
  • tongs
  • cutting board
  • knife
  • paper towels

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 640g, with 4 servings weighing around 160g each. One serving of these Crispy Coconut Shrimp Tacos is approximately 350 calories.

A unique tip for this recipe is to toast the coconut flakes before coating the shrimp for an extra depth of flavor and crunch.

I encourage you to give these Crispy Coconut Shrimp Tacos a try and let your taste buds experience the wonderful combination of textures and tastes. Feel free to customize the toppings to suit your preferences and make this dish your own!
