Baked Coconut Shrimp with Peach Pineapple Salsa


I so wish I could claim credit for this recipe, as it was delicious! Alas, I cannot. This is from the great mind behind How Sweet It Is, an incredibly amusing and delicious-looking blog. Her name is Jessica, and she's incredibly entertaining! This is my favorite blog of the moment. She has a great sense of humor and a love for sugar, chocolate, and bacon. Sounds familiar, right? :) Anyway, I love her stuff and really wanted to try a recipe of hers. This was recently posted so I felt I had to give it a try.

I am a coconut shrimp fanatic. I LOVE it! Especially at Red Lobster, with the pina colada dipping sauce? Perfection. I was ordering that puppy before it was even offered as an entree. Appetizers for dinner are perfectly acceptable, especially if they are a) loaded baked potato skins or b) coconut shrimp. I like sweetness in every meal if I can manage it, so the coconut paired with some sort of fruity dipping sauce always has a place in my heart.


The problem with coconut shrimp? It's so fried! I will pan-fry things in a little bit of oil at home, but deep-frying at home is just a little too decadent for my taste. So, I prefer to just order it out, when I let someone else do the guilt-inducing part for me.

But this is great! It's baked and served with fresh fruit instead of french fries, so I had no excuse. So I made it. And it was yummy. Go try it now!
