Coconut Shrimp Salad with Lime Vinaigrette

May 9, 2008

Last night’s Lost dinner was most excellent. It was pretty warm yesterday, so my original dinner plan of sloppy joes and mashed potatoes didn’t sound very appetizing. This was an amazing alternative. I breaded some raw shrimp in coconut (flour first, then egg, then coconut) and pan fried them. It is really easy to burn the coconut, so the oil shouldn’t be too hot!

The salad is just a baby arugula mix. The peppery flavor of the arugula was a little strong for the lightness of the dressing, so next time I might go with baby spinach instead. The dressing was fresh lime juice, honey and olive oil. It was like a lime kick in the pants, which is awesome if you like lime as much as I do. This recipe is definitely going in the must have again, over and over category!
