The planned dinner tonight was to include Shrimp, Andouille sausage and rice or beans, semi-Jambalaya but not quite. Plans changed and the shrimp turned into BBQ Coconut Shrimp with the sausage and rice as sides. Last minute changes sometimes work out well. Nothing like a craving for Coconut Shrimp to alter dinner plans. :becky:
The breading stations: Flour, Beer Batter, Coconut, a pound of 16/20 Shrimp -
All set and ready for a brief time in the fridge -
I had planned to make this on the Blackstone but was running low on propane so the Lodge Pizza pan on the Goldens' will do nicely -
After grilling for a few minutes on both sides, it's tails up -
Ready for plating -
Dinner is served -
Almost forgot the Pineapple Mango Salsa -
This was amazingly quick and easy to prepare.
Grilling it on in a thin layer of oil on the Lodge pizza pan was a lot better than losing coconut through the grates. I could have shallow fried it in a skillet but this turned out quite well. And of course deep frying could have been an option, but I dislike doing so.
The coconut toasted up with a nice crunch and the flavors were excellent. Although I've prepared something similar before, this one's a keeper.
Thanks for checking out tonight's dinner!
