Steps:
- Combine the chiles, cilantro, orange zest, orange juice, rice wine vinegar, Mirin, salt, pepper, chicken and shrimp. Toss all to coat well. Cover and place in the refrigerator to marinate for 2 hours.
- Meanwhile, to make the coconut peanut sauce: Heat a saucepot over medium heat and add the peanut oil. Add the chiles and garlic and toast until dark brown but not burnt. Add the rice wine vinegar and reduce by half. Add the coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Whisk in the peanut butter and mix well to combine. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan.
- Grill the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes on each side and shrimp 2 minutes on each side, or until pink and opaque. Remove the chicken and shrimp from the grill. Let the chicken rest for a minute, then assemble the skewers with 2 pieces of chicken and 2 shrimp on each skewer. Serve the skewers over vegetable salad, with a bowl of coconut peanut sauce for dipping.
- Just before serving, combine the cabbage, red pepper, yellow pepper, red onion, snap peas, cilantro, orange juice, rice wine vinegar, peanut oil, and red wine vinegar in a large bowl. Taste the salad, then season with salt, and pepper, to taste.
COCONUT SHRIMP WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE
Steps:
- Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, five-spice powder, salt, black pepper, cayenne, and beer until smooth. In another bowl, combine the shredded coconut with the bread crumbs. Holding the shrimp by the tail, dip them into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, and then dip them into the coconut bread crumbs (turning and pressing to get full coverage). Keeping one hand dry will make this whole process neater.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 1 inch of oil to 365°F. Gently submerge shrimp, about six at a time, and fry for about 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer the shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle lightly with additional salt. Serve the shrimp warm, with Spicy Peanut Sauce.

- Bring the sauce to room temperature, and serve it with the coconut shrimp.

BAKED COCONUT SHRIMP WITH PINEAPPLE SAUCE
I love the big succulent coconut shrimp found at a popular restaurant. Unfortunately, due to health reasons I can't indulge in that shrimp anymore. I created a recipe that satisfies my craving and tastes just as indulgent, but without the guilt! Can be served as an entree or as an appetizer.

Tips:
- For the crispiest shrimp, make sure to coat them evenly in the cornstarch mixture before frying.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the shrimp. This will cause them to steam instead of fry, resulting in soggy shrimp.
- Fry the shrimp in small batches for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- For a healthier version of the peanut sauce, use low-sodium soy sauce and reduced-fat peanut butter.
- If you don't have rice vinegar on hand, you can substitute white vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
- Serve the coconut shrimp with the peanut sauce, lime wedges, and your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
This coconut shrimp with peanut sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. The shrimp are crispy and flavorful, and the peanut sauce is creamy and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
