We made this dish the other night during another snow storm and yes it's almost April. :( Although it didn't physically transport us to a tropical island it did let us recall a time when the sun did shine! It was a tropical delight and the shrimp turned out perfectly crisp and coconuty. [[start tab]]

Recipe
To make your salsa:
|
❶ Mix onion, cucumber, chili, mint in a bowl. ❷ Add Lychee coconut lime dressing and squeeze of lime. Mix and allow 20 minutes for flavors to infuse.
|
To make shrimp:
|
❶ Clean and peel shrimp leaving shell on tails only. Butterfly. ❷ Drizzle Lychee Coconut Lime dressing over shrimp and place in fridge to marinade for 30 minutes. ❸ Set up assembly line for coating shrimp. In one bowl, flour. In another bowl, whisked eggs. In another bowl mix together coconut and panko. ❹ Heat oil in pot on stove top on low to medium heat until just hot enough to fry but not burn your shrimp. ❺ Lightly salt and pepper shrimp, then dredge in flour, followed by dipping in the eggs, coconut/panko mix and then sprinkle cornflour over dredged shrimp (it gives it just a bit more crunchy coating when frying) ❻ Place shrimp in oil until golden brown, remove with slotted spoon and place on paper towel.
Serve on a bed of baby kale with salsa drizzled over shrimp, or serve shrimp plain with salsa as a dipping sauce. Whichever you prefer. Enjoy with a crisp glass of white wine or mojito. |
