Coconut Shrimp Tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that will transport your taste buds to the tropics. These tacos are perfect for a quick and satisfying meal that will leave you feeling full and satisfied.
To make Coconut Shrimp Tacos, you will need the following ingredients per serving:
- 4-5 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 small flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup diced avocado
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
To start, preheat your oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, mix together the shredded coconut, panko breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Dip each shrimp into the mixture, pressing the mixture onto the shrimp to coat it well.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and crispy.
While the shrimp are cooking, warm the tortillas in the oven for 1-2 minutes. Once the shrimp are done, assemble the tacos by placing the shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and diced avocado onto each tortilla. Add the cooked shrimp on top, and sprinkle with chopped cilantro and lime juice.
These Coconut Shrimp Tacos are a perfect combination of sweet and savory flavors, with a crispy texture from the coconut and panko coating. The shrimp are juicy and tender, and the fresh toppings add a burst of freshness to each bite.
