Orange Coconut Shrimp
I am always in a hurry or have a million other things to do so I am constantly looking for ways to make things faster and more efficient. I whipped this recipe up one night at 9:30 pm because I was starving and didn't want to take much time to cook. (I was too busy working my free-shrimp-recipes website to stop and eat!) This recipe took my about 10 - 15 minutes total to prepare and cook. It is a fast, easy to fix version of a coconut shrimp recipe without the hassle of coating all the shrimp with the coconut. I love to include the almonds because of the texture it gives the recipe and it helps to cut the sweetness down.
