Coconut Shrimp with Mango Sauce

Hey everyone! It's been a while. May has been a busy month and it's not even over with, I've still been cooking for you all and have lot's of recipes to share so I thought I'd start with one I had been craving for a while, Coconut Shrimp. Nothing says 'om nom' like the crunch of sweet breaded seafood. So light and crisp with an excellent sauce for dipping your little morsels in, this recipe was simple and totally worth waiting for. So if you have a summer shindig coming up and you can't decide what to serve up, I've got your back:

For Sauce:

• 2 mangos skins removed
• 3/4 cup Mayo 
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 8-10 drops of Sriracha (or to taste)
• 1 tsp Lemon Juice

Directions:

1. In a food processor or blender combine all ingredients and mix until smooth.
2. Set in the fridge to cool while you cook your shrimp.

For Shrimp:

• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 3/4 cup Panko bread crumbs
• 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
• 1 pound raw large shrimp, peeled and deveined with tails attached
• 3 tbsp coconut oil (or enough to fry your shrimp in)

Where does the time go? I have been forgetting to post for two weeks now, out of sheer tiredness or lack of motivation. It's hard not to get caught up in work and focusing on getting into school, I tend to forget to breath sometimes or to turn off my mind and enjoy something I love. For instance Francoise Hardy, a lovely french song writer and singer who makes all worries melt away with her buttery voice:

Directions:

1. In three medium bowls put, flour salt and pepper in one, eggs in another and coconut with the panko crumbs in the last.
2. Take each shrimp and dip in flour, then egg and then coat with your coconut. Make sure each shrimp is coated well, set on a separate plate as you do this process with each shrimp.
3. Then in a skillet on medium heat fry approximately 5 or 6 shrimp at a time depending on the size of your skillet (you don't want to over crowd).  Fry on each side until golden in color. 
4. Once you're done frying serve up your shrimp with your dipping sauce! 

Happy Eatings Everyone!
