Spicy Coconut Shrimp

Makes: 30-40 shrimps

Total Time: 30-35 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 3 TBS Sriracha Sauce
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 TBS organic raw honey
  • 1/4 cup of sweet chili sauce
  • 1/4 cup of apricot preserves
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 3 TBS coconut oil (for frying – may need more)

What to do:

  • In a small bowl, mix together the Sriracha, lime juice and red pepper flakes; pour into large ziplock bag
  • Pat the shrimp dry with a towel and season with sea salt; add to the bag with Sriracha mix and put it in the refrigerator for 3+ hours (I did it over night and it was delicious!)
  • In a small serving bowl, mix chili sauce and apricot preserves and put in refrigerator
  • In a shallow bowl mix together the coconut flour, coconut flakes, salt, and pepper
  • In another shallow bowl, pour your honey
  • Heat 1.5 TBS coconut oil in a large skillet over medium low heat
  • Remove enough shrimp to coat the bottom of the skillet from bag
  • One-at-a-time – use tongs to dip shrimp in honey
  • Next coat the shrimp in the coconut flour mixture
    • You may need to press the coconut flakes into the shrimp pretty hard
  • Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side
    • Flip the shrimps very carefully to try and keep the coconut flakes intact
    • You will need to cook the shrimp in batches; add more coconut oil if the skillet gets too dry
  • As shrimp finish cooking, remove them from heat and set aside and continue with the rest of the shrimp
  • Serve with your dipping sauce when ready and enjoy!
