on Nov 28, 2015, Updated Oct 11, 2021 14 Comments There’s just something about coconut shrimp that immediately reminds me of beaches, tropical weather, and vacation. I guess that’s because whenever we would take summer vacations as a family throughout my childhood, you could depend on my sister and me ordering coconut shrimp repeatedly throughout our trips. We were dependable that way. Daddy would order fish, Mama would order boiled shrimp, and Wendy and I would try our best to find something new on the menu but would always defer to our favorite. Every time. When I learned to make coconut shrimp at home, I believe the skies opened up and the angels sang because I’d finally recreated this childhood favorite that was even better than that I’d had on those beach vacations growing up. It didn’t hurt that they were baked instead of deep-fried and ready in 20 minutes either. Here’s my Baked Coconut Shrimp recipe. If you love coconut shrimp like I do, you are going to want to make these soon! Enjoy!Robyn xo from the Add a Pinch recipe archives, originally published 2013.
