Tiana Walters These Whole 30 Coconut Lime Shrimp are zesty and full of tropical flavor thanks to the toasted coconut. The best part it comes together in a snap, with only five ingredients. Weeknight dinner? No sweat.
I’ve included two methods of cooking the Whole 30 Coconut Lime Shrimp either on the grill or on the stovetop. Dealers choice! The recipe can be doubled, and shrimp can marinate for up to 24 hrs for a quick appetizer.
Thai food is the ultimate summer cuisine. Super zesty, lots of fresh herbs, bright, colorful food, and healthy. It’s truly the best. Don’t believe me? Think about where Thailand is. Exactly! This cuisine was crafted for heat and humidity. Add shrimp, and it becomes low carb, low calorie, & diet-friendly.
Make it Whole 30
Serve with your favorite vegetable, cauliflower rice, extra lime, and toasted coconut.
We love a quick meal over here, honey! It helps that it was crazy good. We ended up searing the cabbage off with ginger, garlic, and onions. We then went back for seconds! OH, quarantine!
This Sticky Mango Coconut Rice is a perfect pairing. I have yet to get more photos, so in the meantime, hit me up on IG @love.your.taste.buds for the recipe.
