Coconut Shrimp w/ Curry Dipping Sauce

The GoodWill near my house recently had a half off sale. I know that seems ridiculous since everything is already priced so low, but it mean shopping time for me! It was like Christmas going through their kitchen section. There were so many cute accessories and dishes for my food photos. I came out with multiple textured mats, plates, bowls, silverware and more all for only $14! This picture shows a few of my new accessories. I love the textures in this photo even though the colors are a bit off.

The panko makes the shrimp light and crunchy. This is a great appetizer for a dinner party; or in my case, for a main dish!  The curry dipping sauce combines with the shrimp to give a delicious coconut curry flavor. If you have never eaten coconut shrimp, this is definitely the recipe to try.
