If you look at my Asian recipes collection on this site, you will find it to be quite large. We simply enjoy this cuisine! One of our favorite shrimp appetizers is Shrimp Tempura. My Hubby has been asking me for years to make it and it finally happened. This is the easiest way to make restaurant-quality tempura in your own kitchen. The shrimp is juicy and delicious and the coating light and crispy. If you follow my easy steps, you will be enjoying this fantastic dish in no time. And if you have any veggies on hand, dip them in the batter and fry up too!

Coconut Shrimp are crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside, fried or baked. Serve them with my Sweet Chili Orange Sauce. This appetizer is so much better than the restaurant kind!

Shrimp fans, you will also like my 10-Minute Teriyaki Shrimp recipe and the Parmesan Crusted Salmon. Seafood at it’s best!

One of my favorite dishes to order at Red Lobster is coconut shrimp. They are so crunchy and perfect with the dipping sauce. However, they are so easy to make at home! You can fry the shrimp in oil or bake in the oven or air fryer. The spicy orange or apricot sauce is a must! It goes perfectly with the crunchy coconut breading. This delicious appetizer is so easy to make, just like my Cream Cheese Wontons!
