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.
