Paleo Coconut Shrimp with Pina Colada Dipping Sauce Recipe

In this post, I will be sharing our Paleo Coconut Shrimp with Pina Colada Dipping Sauce Recipe with you. Now that I can eat a wider variety of foods than I used to, every time I go to Red Lobster I treat myself to the coconut shrimp. I love it! It’s really good with broccoli and some extra drawn butter on the side to dip the broccoli in. I got hooked on their drawn butter when for years all I could eat there was a whole lobster.

Paleo Coconut Shrimp with Pina Colada Dipping Sauce Recipe {Gluten Free, Clean Eating, Dairy Free}

Yes, a whole lobster is delicious but so expensive and so much messy work. Now I can afford to go a little more often since the coconut shrimp doesn’t cost as much and I love how quick I can eat them and it is a fairly low carb meal too. Plus, I’m a sucker for anything crunchy. I LOVE crunchy food and I love sauces and dips and putting them together is a perfect combination.

This version of Paleo Coconut Shrimp is awesome because it is so simple and healthy. I found several Red Lobster copycat recipes for this and they all had a TON of sugar and alcohol added in. Things like powdered sugar, pina colada mix, rum, etc. This Paleo coconut shrimp only has a little bit of honey in the sauce to sweeten. It comes together very quickly and has both coconut flour and shredded coconut for lots of good coconut flavor.

I would recommend using smaller shredded coconut rather than the large ribbon-style shreds. I used Bob’s Red Mill shredded coconut and the smaller size makes it stick to the shrimp better as well as cook it more evenly.

There is no need to go to a fancy restaurant for good shrimp, we have you covered. Enjoy this recipe in the comfort of your home without compromising the flavor.

    OH. MY. GOODNESS. This is one of my new favorite recipes of all time! Made this last night for dinner and it was absolutely spectacular!! Instead of using arrowroot flour, I just used cornstarch. Still turned out great! Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your delicious recipe! 🙂

    One of my favorite summer time foods. I’ve never used Arrowroot before, so I’ll have to check that out.

    Oh my gosh yummm! The pina colada dipping sauce would be great with coconut shrimp. I have never had that before.

      Hey Jenny, you can use whatever oil you prefer to use. I would not use olive oil. Both coconut oil and avocado oil are good options. I personally like to use avocado oil and you can get it at Costco now!
