Coconut Shrimp Recipe with Thai Chili Ginger Sauce

Ok, I have a confession to make. Today I am actually drinking wine and relaxing with my husband in…. wait for it… Napa Valley!!! I have been wanting to go forever, and it was on my list of places to see. So… my husband surprised me with a weekend getaway.

I know…

It’s amazing….

I can’t wait to show ya’ll the pictures…

But until then I will just be sharing this seriously amazing-can’t-stop-popping-them-in-my-mouth-because-they-taste-like-heaven Coconut Shrimp!

Today is Mystery Dish Day … eeek…and Kat from I Want Crazy was the host! The “basket of ingredients” she gave us this month was: Boxed Cake Mix, Peeps, Oats, Ginger, Honey, Wine, Shallots, Coconut, Shrimp, Cherry Tomatoes, Kiwi, Dried Fruit, and Cinnamon.

After seeing the list, immediately my first thought was Coconut Shrimp. But that was only 2 of the ingredients and we needed to use 3 this time so I thought.. well … sauce.. duh! Hence the amazingly delicious Thai Chili Ginger Sauce. This stuff has got some heat packed in it but it compliments the slightly sweet coconut perfectly. My husband and son ate this stuff up in no time, and if my two year liked it. I promise you.. you will too!

How to Make The Best Coconut Shrimp

Simmer for 5 minutes Next add 1 teaspoon of arrowroot. {acts like cornstarch} Whisk until arrowroot is dissolved and sauce is thickened. Remove from heat. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and place in refrigerator to cool.

Preheat oven to 400º. In a large bowl place 1 lb. of large shrimp {deveined & shell removed} In a medium bowl, add 3/4 cup of unsweetened coconut flakes, 1/2 cup of japanase panco crumbs, and 1/4 teaspoon of paprika.

In a small bowl, add 2 egg whites. Get your coconut shrimp assembly line set with a baking sheet on the end.

Dunk shrimp in egg whites then in the coconut mixture patting shrimp to be sure shrimp is completely covered and then place on baking sheet. 

Continue process for all shrimp. Bake shrimp for 8-10 minutes at 400º. Serve with Thai Chili Ginger Sauce.
