Crispy Coconut Shrimp Recipe

Milena Kukurekovic

We all know coconut shrimp is a delectable summer appetizer, but did you know it's also really simple to make yourself? AND easier than ever to serve at your next event thanks to our bamboo steamer bowls? This crispy coconut shrimp recipe with orange marmalade dipping sauce will have your guests happy they RSVP'd. Each steamer fits one serving (3 pieces) of shrimp, so it's great for guests to grab and go. They're the perfect size to hold, and the lid fits nicely underneath to collect crumbs that fall through the steamer grate. You have to give these cute bamboo steamers a try! Your guests might just ask to take one home with them even after all the shrimp have been devoured.
