How to Make Bacon Wrapped Coconut Quiche And Coconut Popcorn Shrimp

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 6-cup muffin baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. Prepare the shrimp: Pat 1 pound of shrimp dry with paper towels. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Make the quiche filling: In a blender, combine 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk and 1 cup of fresh corn kernels. Puree until almost smooth.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Add 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Whisk to combine.
  6. Cook the bacon: Cook 6 slices of bacon in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until lightly browned, flipping once. Drain on paper towels.
  7. Assemble the quiche: Place a piece of cooked bacon along the sides of each muffin cup. Pour the filling evenly into each cup.
  8. Bake the quiche: Bake for 23-25 minutes, or until the center is almost set.
  9. Prepare the coconut popcorn shrimp: Dredge the shrimp in 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, then dip in 1 large egg beaten in a bowl, and finally coat in a mixture of 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs and 1/4 cup cornmeal.
  10. Deep fry the shrimp: Heat 1 cup coconut oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Deep fry the shrimp in batches until cooked through and golden brown (about 2-3 minutes per batch). Drain on paper towels.
  11. Combine quiche and shrimp: Once the quiche is baked, remove from the oven. Top each quiche with 3-4 pieces of popcorn shrimp. Return to the oven for 2 minutes.
  12. Make the cocktail sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup ketchup, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce, and a few drops of Tabasco sauce.
  13. Let the quiche rest for 5 minutes before removing from the pan.
  14. Serve: Place each quiche on a serving plate. Drizzle the cocktail sauce over the popcorn shrimp and sprinkle with shredded coconut flakes.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
