Crazy for Coconut

Tonight I was in the mood for something with coconut so I decided to make myself some crispy coconut shrimp for dinner… and coconut oatmeal cookies for dessert. Both came out delicious and satisfying.

This was actually my first time making the coconut oatmeal cookies and I really love how well they came out. It wasn’t too sweet and the coconut was nice and subtle. I’m thinking next time I might throw in some milk chocolate chips for extra flavor.

Crispy coconut shrimp has always been a favorite of mine. I normally like to bake it, but I know some people who like to fry it. I think both ways come out tasty… but baking it is a little less messy, and of course a bit healthier as well (if you care about that sort of thing).
