Coconut Shrimp Poppers

coconut shrimp poppers
Everybody loves my coconut shrimp poppers.  I have made these many times for get togethers at home, friends’ parties, pot lucks etc, and each time I made them they disappeared in no time. They have an extra crunch that awakens your senses when you take your first bite. Then the subtle heat from the dijon mustard infused with the Sriracha hot sauce kicks in resulting in a tongue tingling sensation. And the dipping soy sauce fired up with ginger and green chillies has enough zing to ignite your soul and take you to another level of flavour. Hmm, what an experience of flavours to enjoy!

    I love crunchy breaded shrimp recipes, and this one looks delicious! I like that you used a combination of corn flakes AND panko, too!

      I wanted to use coarsely crushed cornflakes for the crunch, but they don’t coat thoroughly and leave gaps in between. So adding Panko crumbs helped me give that coating and crispness plus the extra crunch from the coarse corn flakes. Thank you.

    This sounds like a delicious and highly flavourful appetizer, Fouzia.! I like the addition of sesame seeds in your breading mixture – it adds an interesting texture and appealing appearance.
