Ingredients

16 oz peeled and deveined raw shrimp

1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs

1/2 cup shredded coconut

1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for a gluten-free version, use gluten-free flour)

2 large eggs

Salt, to taste

Pepper, to taste

Oil for frying (such as vegetable oil)

For the Orange Marmalade Dip:

1/2 cup orange marmalade

1/4 cup chili sauce

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

For the Coconut Shrimp:

1. Prepare the Shrimp: Clean and devein the shrimp. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
2. Set Up Dredging Stations: Flour Mixture: In a shallow bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with a pinch of salt and pepper. This will be your first coating.
3. Egg Wash: In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs. This will help the coconut and breadcrumbs adhere to the shrimp.
4. Coconut and Breadcrumb Mixture: In a third shallow bowl, combine the shredded coconut and panko breadcrumbs.
5. Dredge the Shrimp: First, coat each shrimp in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Dip the floured shrimp into the egg wash. Finally, coat the shrimp in the coconut and breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks well.
6. Fry the Shrimp: Fill a small pot with about 2 inches of oil and heat over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to check the temperature. Carefully add the coated shrimp to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Make sure to flip over halfway. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the shrimp to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

For the Orange Marmalade Dip:

1. Prepare the Dip: In a small bowl, mix the orange marmalade and chili sauce until well combined. Adjust the proportions to taste if you prefer it sweeter or spicier.
2. Serving: Serve the fried coconut shrimp hot with the orange marmalade dip on the side.

Ingredients

1/2 French bread, sliced and toasted (crostini)

8 oz smoked salmon

1 ripe avocado

2 tablespoons Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon mayonnaise

1/2 lemon, juiced

Few sprigs of dill

Salt and pepper to taste

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

1. Prepare Crostini: Preheat the oven broiler on high. Slice the French bread into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Place the bread slices on a baking sheet and position the rack about 6 inches below the broiler element. Broil the bread slices for about 1.5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
2. Make Avocado Spread: In a bowl, scoop out the ripe avocado and mash it with a fork until smooth. Add Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, and freshly squeezed lemon juice to the mashed avocado. Mix well to combine. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning according to your preferences.
3. Assemble the Bruschetta: Once the crostini are ready, spread a generous amount of the avocado mixture onto each slice.
4. Add Smoked Salmon: Carefully drape a slice of smoked salmon over the avocado spread on each crostini. You can fold the salmon to fit nicely on the bread.
5. Garnish with Dill: Wash and chop the dill finely. Sprinkle chopped dill over the smoked salmon for a burst of fresh flavor.
