Thankfully before I was hit with it, I posted this Baked Coconut Shrimp with Pineapple Dipping Sauce over at Tablespoon today. I saw on the news today that Florida is the only state that does not have snow in it. So for those of you shivering in the snow, this recipe will make you feel like you are on an island somewhere, lying in the warm sun, snuggling your toes in the hot sand. Although these coconut shrimp can be enjoyed as an appetizer, I often turn it into a meal by adding a simple green salad. Don’t feel too guilty eating these as your main course; they’re baked and a much healthier alternative to the fried version.
I need this in my life!
I order these EVERY time we go to My Favorite Restaurant in East Mesa called Red White& Brew! I can't Wait to add these to my menu for next week!
That looks ridiculously good!
@Dave's Wife,
I'm from Mesa and we try to hit Red, White, and Brew when we are in town. So good!
Yummy! Love how good that pineapple dipping sauce looks. This would work wonderfully for chicken, too. But we've been craving shrimp around here something fierce... I'll have to remember this one and make it sometime in the next few days.
This looks amazing!! I love your blog!!
This looks so good!! I love your photos too. Awesome.
I love coconut shrimp but usually can't get over the greasiness when it's fried. This is a great way to enjoy something I love wtihout feeling (too) guilty about it! Hope you start feeling better!
This is exactly what I need today! While it isn't still snowing, there is still snow out there and that counts, right?!
I love coconut shrimp way way too much! I worked at a steakhouse here in St.George called Rococos... we served a Jalepeno sauce with it too! It was my favorite : )
That dipping sauce looks divine, just what I have been looking for.
Christy, you couldn't have shared this recipe at more of a perfect time! My MIL loves coconut shrimp and we make it for her every year for her birthday dinner (which is the end of January). So I will totally be making your version this year!
I can't wait to make this! I absolutely love coconut shrimp and usually avoid it because it's fried. The dipping sauce couldn't sound yummier either!
Ooh this sounds delicious and your pics are superb! When you say 'pineapple preserve' in the ingredients, do you mean a pineapple jam, or a more savoury pineapple chutney? Shrimp are so juicy and sweet I can see them working with either!
@souperior,
Pineapple preserve is just a little thicker and nicer than jam. I imagine a chutney would work as well. I like things on the sweet side so I enjoyed the shrimp with the spicy preserves.
Another snowy day in Boston, I'm making these!They look delicious.
I bet that it tastes better with coconuts, thanks for the recipe. I will give it a try this weekend in the family dinner on sunday.
Oooh, this looks so delicious! Found you on Pinterest, and I definitely need to try this shrimp soon, yum! :)
I found your blog on pinterest, and I'm finding that I'm pinning ever recipe!!! I'm making this a favorite and will be here a lot to get some recipes. THANK YOU for sharing!
Will this recipe work with cooked shrimp? I bought the frozen bag from Meijer but the shrimp are pre-cooked.
@Danielle, Of course fresh is always better but you can use frozen too!
I am sending this recipe to my hubs, he loves making coconut shrimp, this looks fantastic! Nettie
