Not every fried food can be made in the oven, but in the case of these baked coconut shrimp, the results are just as good as the original preparation (and noticeably healthier). While the color isn’t as visibly golden brown as fried shrimp, the crunch is unmistakable (and downright addictive). Inspired by some, shall we say lackluster (and that’s putting it kindly) freezer-aisle coconut shrimp that was less than satisfying, we set about making our own oven-fried version that’s just as crispy, and far easier, than its fried counterpart....

How about a boozy spoonful of sunshine (indeed!) Peach season is far too short, if you ask me. May is really too early, even if you see peaches starting to pop up at the markets they are usually not the best, having been picked prematurely....
