These crispy, oven-baked Paleo Coconut Shrimp with Sriracha Mayo Dipping Sauce are Whole30-friendly and so deliciously addicting!

This is one of those recipes that I want to make ALL the time. My family spent last Thanksgiving in Hawaii (yes, almost a year ago), and I saw coconut shrimp on the menu at one of the restaurants. It sounded soooo delicious, but unfortunately, it contained flour and breadcrumbs so I couldn’t order it with my gluten intolerance. I remember drooling at how delicious it looked when the servers carried the dish to other tables. 

Paleo Coconut Shrimp Recipe

Ever since, I’ve been meaning to recreate an allergen-free version at home and I finally got around to it recently. This Paleo Coconut Shrimp is soooo yummy and addicting, and it’s not even deep fried! You just bake it in the oven for 20 minutes, and you get a golden, crunchy exterior that you just can’t get enough of.

Sriracha Mayo Dipping Sauce

While the Paleo Coconut Shrimp is delicious on its own, the Sriracha Mayo Dipping Sauce is what really pulls this recipe together. I mean, this sauce is honestly good on it own and we may or may not have been eating it by the spoonful. I highly recommend you make it and I promise you’ll want to put it on everything!
