Somehow an entire bag of uncooked shrimp got lost in my freezer. During the clean out, I discovered the long-lost bag and immediately started looking for something to make with them. My favorite is coconut shrimp so of to Epicurious.com I went and found this awesome recipe: Coconut Shrimp. The Panko (Japanese breadcrumbs) with the coconut have just the right crunch. The lime peel make this recipe a Caribbean-type treat. What was missing was a dipping sauce to serve with them. The sweet crunch needed a tangy sauce for dipping.
Well, I am the queen of refrigerator specials and this is most definitely one.
You will need:
- 1 Jar of Orange Marmalade
- Juice of One Lime
- Minced Garlic to taste
- Fresh Grated Ginger Root to taste
What to do:
-
Mix them up and that’s it!
-
Remember the flavors will get more intense over time… trust me!
I overdid the garlic a bit but it was my first effort… this will be a recipe I will perfect over the coming months. The ginger gives the sauce a great kick… and the orange marmalade was the perfect base to provide sweetness as well as a pleasing consistency. This will make a perfect appetizer for any holiday party. But if you use it for New Year’s – you might want less garlic for the midnight kiss!! Enjoy!!
