Shrimp Size Matters: Opt for larger shrimp as they're easier to handle and provide a meatier bite. Remember, shrimp shrink when cooked, so bigger is often better.

Desiccated vs. Shredded Coconut: Desiccated coconut is finer and adheres better to the shrimp, giving a more even coat. If you prefer a chunkier texture, go for shredded.

Avoid Overcooking: Shrimp cook quickly! Once they turn pink and opaque, they're done. Overcooked shrimp can become rubbery.

DIY Mayo: Making your own mayo ensures it's keto-friendly and allows you to adjust the flavors. Add a dash of lemon or some crushed garlic for an extra kick.

Alternative Coatings: Not a fan of coconut? Try almond flour or crushed pork rinds for a different twist.

Catering to Other Diets:

• Paleo: Use a paleo-friendly mayo and ensure your coconut is unsweetened.

• Gluten-Free: This recipe is naturally gluten-free, but always check labels to ensure no gluten-containing additives are present.

• Dairy-Free: This recipe is dairy-free. If adding a dip or sauce, ensure it doesn't contain dairy.

Frying Tip: Use a thermometer to ensure your oil stays at the right temperature. Too hot, and your shrimp will burn. Too cool, and they'll become greasy.

Storage: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.

Remember, cooking is as much about experimenting and finding what works for you as it is about following a recipe. Don't be afraid to tweak things to suit your taste. Happy cooking! 🍤🥥
