Few things in life make me as happy as shrimp. In fact, with a nice serving of shrimp in front of me, I pretty much forget where I’m at or who I’m talking to.

Ask anyone who has ever sat across from me while I’m eating shrimp and they will tell you that it’s pretty tough to carry on a conversation with me until I’m done. Done with every last, succulent, delectable, scrumptious little shrimpy.

Poor little shrimpies. It’s not their fault they taste so darn good…

Now what was I talking about?

  2. I’m making this tomorrow!! What do you suggest pairing this with though? (ie: side dish of quinoa or just other veggies/salad?)

      Yes, all of that. Sounds like a nice meal! Enjoy!

  3. Sounds wonderful thank you!! Now, how would you turn this into a meal? Pasta? Rice? What kind of veggies would work best?

    I am loving your blog so much! I’ve been struggling with trying to find the right balance of healthy, EASY cooking that my family will enjoy. Thanks to you, I feel for the first time ever like I can really do this 🙂

    Will this work with raw shrimp? I suppose it just needs to cook for a few minutes more. (I wanted to make the coconut shrimp, but I didn’t fee like going back to Whole Foods for desiccated coconut and whole wheat panko, I was just there yesterday! Next time…) Fortunately, I have all the ingredients in the house!

    1. graciouspantry says:

      Yes, just cook it longer. Enjoy!

  10. I made these for dinner, I squeezed in the juice of half the orange for some extra flavor. My boyfriend kept begging for more! He was super excited that we now have a “Chinese food” option on our new diet plan!
