For me, there are few other dishes that evoke the feeling of summer, dining al fresco, and a lazy vacation day quite like coconut shrimp. Back when we sailed on the Carnival Breeze<\/a> last year, we ate tons of amazing seafood and all the shrimp we possibly could, but the coconut shrimp at RedFrog Pub was a favorite. When we returned back from our trip, I figured it was time that I learned to make the dish at home.<\/p>\n

Though it\u2019s one of my favorite ways to prepare and eat shrimp, coconut shrimp can be a bit unhealthy in its traditional fried form. Here, I\u2019ve opted to bake the shrimp instead. You get the same great crunch and coconut flavor, but it\u2019s a lot healthier and in my opinion, a lot easier to cook as well!<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve found that this is a great dish to serve as an appetizer while entertaining. It ends up looking a lot more impressive and difficult than it actually is (preparing it really could not be easier), and it\u2019s been a crowd pleaser every time I\u2019ve made it for guests. I like to prep it with two different sauces: a tangier one and a creamier one, but you could experiment with other flavors and sauces to your liking. It\u2019s a really versatile dish so the options are pretty limitless!<\/p>\n
