Shrimp Coconut Patties
You will absolutely love these delicious Shrimp Coconut Patties. The two main ingredients are shrimp and shredded coconut. It’s a seafood lover’s dream. I often serve these as a small appetizer, but have also been known to have them as my main meal.
In keeping with my modified Slow Carb diet, I often make a triple batch, store it in the refrigerator, and fry them just before eating … yes, four to five days in a row!
I serve them with a small bowl of coconut aminos dipping sauce.
Low-carb and keto-friendly!

Ingredients:
Desiccated Coconut
I prefer unsweetened desiccated (ground) coconut for this recipe, BUT it is hard to find. If you can’t find it and have flakes or shreds … just dump in your spice grinder or blender and buzz for 30 seconds.
Mega Important: You must use UNSWEETENED coconut. The sugar content on sweetened coconut is through the roof.
