Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Variation:
Plain Fried Shrimp: Omit the coconut milk, lime zest, and shredded coconut. Instead, set up a breading station with all-purpose flour, lightly beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs. Follow the breading process, then cook the shrimp in the air fryer as directed.Nutritional Values (per serving):
Wine Advice:
Pair these crispy triple-coconut shrimp with a chilled glass of sparkling wine or a light-bodied white wine such as Riesling or Pinot Grigio to complement the tropical flavors of the coconut and the freshness of the lime zest. Alternatively, serve them with a cold beer like a light lager or a wheat beer for a refreshing contrast to the spicy coconut yogurt dip.Nutritional Information
