I am having so much fun coming up with a supper that can be made in 15 Minutes every Friday.  Are you enjoying them?  I think the Chicken Scallopine has been my favorite recipe so far in this series.  Do you have a favorite one? {Check out all my 15 Minute Meals..if you haven’t already.}  After you check out the archives, you have to try this one….this creamy coconut shrimp is a new family favorite!

It’s dairy free and gluten free and I promise it’s ready in under 15 minutes. Even though this is an allergy friendly dish…you’d never know it!  The coconut milk makes this supper so creamy and delicious with a hint of coconut flavor.  The lime gives it a freshness.  What takes this dish to amazing is the toasted coconut and fresh lime zest on top when serving!

Hubbyman says it reminds him of a coconut curry shrimp he had in India, but without the curry.  He informed me that next time I have to add some curry to it since it’s something he loved during his time in India for work.
