eyes that eat: the coconut shrimp

the coconut shrimp

Described as "creamy" by Lucy Jung who thought the dish was exceptionally well done considering she generally did not agree with the coconut flavor, added that she "couldn't taste the coconut flavor." Whether this subtle coconut flavor is suitable for your taste buds, the dish was wonderful in terms of the larger crispy pieces of fried and battered shrimp tackled with the freshness of the lettuce beneath. Although the mayonnaise mixture on top proved to be sweet and increasingly delicious, personally, I'd prefer a little less poured over and more a drizzle with more sauce to the side. Nevertheless, and putting my health tip to the side, the coconut shrimp dish from Cravings brought "a taste of home" for my brother and I coming from Chinese roots. Highly recommended!
