Crispy Coconut Shrimp Tacos are a tropical twist on the classic taco, featuring juicy shrimp coated in shredded coconut and breadcrumbs, then fried to golden perfection. Served in warm tortillas with tangy slaw, creamy sauces, or fresh mango salsa, these tacos offer a perfect balance of crunchy, sweet, and savory flavors. The combination of textures and bright ingredients makes this dish both fun and satisfying. They’re ideal for summer meals, casual dinners, or entertaining with flair.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 large eggs, beaten

  • ¾ cup unsweetened shredded coconut

  • ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ¼ tsp black pepper

  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas, warmed

  • 2 cups shredded cabbage or slaw mix

  • 1 avocado, sliced

  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish

  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise

  • 1 tbsp lime juice

  • 1 tsp honey

  • 1 tsp sriracha or hot sauce

Directions

  • Place flour in one shallow dish.
  • In a second dish, add the beaten eggs.
  • In a third dish, mix coconut, panko, salt, and pepper.
  • Pat shrimp dry.
  • Dredge in flour, shaking off excess.
  • Dip in egg, then press into coconut mixture to coat.
  • To Bake: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place shrimp on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Lightly spray with oil. Bake 8–10 minutes, turning halfway, until crisp and cooked through.
  • To Fry: Heat ½ inch oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry shrimp in batches, about 2 minutes per side, until golden. Drain on paper towels.
  • Stir together mayo, lime juice, honey, and sriracha in a small bowl.
  • Fill each tortilla with slaw, a few shrimp, avocado slices, and a drizzle of sauce. Garnish with cilantro.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, use all panko if you prefer no coconut.
  • The sauce can be made ahead and stored in the fridge up to 3 days.
  • Leftover shrimp are great on salads or rice bowls.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup walnut halves

  • ¼ cup water

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

  • 1 lb large shrimp (peeled and deveined)

  • 2 egg whites

  • ½ cup cornstarch

  • Oil for frying

  • For the Creamy Sauce

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise

  • 1½ tablespoons honey

  • 1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk

  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, for brightness)

Directions

  • In a small saucepan, bring water and sugar to a boil. Add walnuts and boil for 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and let dry on parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, whisk egg whites until frothy. Toss in shrimp to coat, then dredge shrimp in cornstarch until well coated.
  • Heat oil in a deep pan. Fry shrimp in batches over medium heat until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
  • In a separate bowl, mix mayonnaise, honey, condensed milk, and lemon juice until smooth.
  • Toss the crispy shrimp in the sauce until evenly coated. Top with the candied walnuts.
  • Serve warm over steamed rice or on its own as an appetizer.

Notes

  • Want extra crispy shrimp? Double-fry them by letting them rest for a few minutes after the first fry, then frying again briefly.
  • You can make the candied walnuts a day ahead and store them in an airtight container.
  • Swap mayo for Greek yogurt for a lighter sauce.
  • Try adding sesame seeds or thinly sliced green onions for garnish.
