Coconut Shrimp

YUM! This was a new recipe for me, and I'll be making it again!
1 lb. jumbo shrimp
1 C unsweetened fine shredded coconut
3 T lowfat coconut milk
2 eggs
Beat eggs and coconut milk, set aside
In a bag, mix finely shredded coconut with a little salt and pepper
One by one dredge shrimp in coconut milk/egg mixture and drop into bag of coconut to coat.
Put shrimp on cookie sheet. Sprinkle with paprika and bake for 20 minutes at 350 until browned. Serve with broccoli slaw.
I sauteed broccoli slaw with 1 tsp. olive oil, 1 Tbsp. Lemon grass, 1 tsp. chili pepper, 1 Tbsp coconut milk, and 1 clove minced garlic.
This was really yummy. Next time I would add some sweet red peppers to the broccoli slaw, and maybe serve with a side of fruit, as well.... like pineapple or mango! :) Enjoy!
With six large shrimp, and 1 1/2 cup broccoli slaw, this is about a 4 block zone/Paleo meal.

    Where does one find lemon grass? Is it in a grassy form?
    Thanks. The slaw sounds yummy.

    Hi Connie. I bought both the lemon grass and chili pepper spice blend in 4 oz tubes in the produce department, refrigerated section, next to the fresh herbs (Safeway). A little bit goes a long way. I love it! Thanks!

    Yes! Add about 1/2 cup of fruit to balance the blocks!

    We tried this tonight and it was yummy!! One thing we didn't do, and really should have, was either grease the pan a bit or use parchment paper. They didn't look as pretty as your pic, but still very good. Also, the "large" shrimp we bought frozen at TJs reduced to tiny little shrimps, so we weighed out about 3 oz each. Not totally balanced, but we were full. Thanks for the recipe, Kelly!!

    3 Studies SHOW Why Coconut Oil Kills Fat.

    This means that you literally burn fat by consuming coconut fat (including coconut milk, coconut cream and coconut oil).

    These 3 studies from major medical magazines are sure to turn the conventional nutrition world around!
