Shrimp with coconut in orange mustard sauce

Coconut shrimp with mustard and orange sauce is a delicious preparation that combines tropical flavors and a citrus touch that delights the palate. This recipe has its roots in coastal regions where shrimp is an essential ingredient in the cuisine. In Latin American countries like Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Colombia, this dish is presented with similar variations and goes by different names, although the essence is the same: crispy shrimp breaded in coconut accompanied by a vibrant sauce that highlights the flavors.

In Mexico, it may be known as "breaded coconut shrimp," while in Colombia it is common to find it simply as "shrimp with orange sauce." In Puerto Rico, this combination of ingredients reflects the Caribbean influence, where the use of coconut and citrus is very popular. This recipe, besides being an excellent main course, also works very well as an appetizer or starter at gatherings and celebrations.
