Guest blog and recipe by Emily Hill @wonderwhyimfat.
I love ordering coconut shrimp when I go out. The only problem is they’re always greasy and deep-fried. I wanted to make a lighter version of my favorite appetizer with less oil. You could bake these in the oven or use your air fryer like I did.
Coconut shrimp always reminds me of the summer, and with the super addictive apricot sweet chili dipping sauce, it’s the perfect flavor combination for this time of year.
There are many health benefits to eating this dish as well. Shredded coconut is rich in potassium, magnesium and calcium. It’s also loaded with antioxidants. Shrimp contains prebiotic fibers[1] that nourish the beneficial bacteria in the gut as well as vitamin B12!
When shopping for the coconut flakes, you can choose between sweetened or unsweetened. Both taste great!
Last, but certainly not least, I added in capsules Just Thrive Probiotic to the flour mixture to get in my daily dose of probiotics. Consuming my probiotics with shrimp is way more fun than swallowing pills!
