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.
