Perhaps it’s the cold weather or the desire for a vacation, but lately I’ve been craving tropical flavors. Coconut Shrimp with homemade mango coconut dipping sauce is a fun and flavorful appetizer or snack that gives you a taste of the tropics. Crispy coconut layered over fresh shrimp is baked in the oven rather than fried. It is easy to make coconut shrimp at home and creates an impressive appetizer to share with friends and family.
This recipe comes together relatively quickly. The shrimp is baked in the oven and comes out crispy. The mango coconut dipping sauce is made with fresh mango, shredded coconut and a few other simple ingredients. The dash of cayenne enhances the flavor and you won’t be able to resist dipping into the fresh sauce. You can even make the sauce ahead of time and store it in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
Make homemade coconut shrimp as an appetizer for a dinner party, light lunch or snack. Don’t forget the mango coconut dipping sauce!
