PRO-TIPS FOR ASSEMBLING THESE SHRIMP TOASTS:

CROSTINI TOASTS: While these are super easy to make at home, you can usually find them already made at your local grocer. Or you can swap these out for Melba toasts which are usually found in the deli section or cracker aisle.

COCONUT CREAM SAUCE: Coconut cream can be found in the bakery or Asian section at your local grocer. You can make this up to a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator, covered. Just make sure to bring it back to semi-room temperature so it spreads easier for serving.

TOSTED COCONUT FLAKES: If you can’t find these premade, go ahead and make them at home! Simply spread out the desired amount of unsweetened coconut flakes on a large baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 350F. Bake for 4 minutes, remove and stir, then return to the oven for another 4 – 5 minutes. Just make sure to check them every minute during the second baking to make sure they don’t burn.

JUST SHRIMP NUGGETS: These are a new twist on a traditional chicken nugget but made with high quality shrimp. You can find them in the freezer section at your local Harris Teeter in the Carolinas and Virginia. The shrimp nuggets cook quickly, making this a great recipe when you want something impressive without spending hours in the kitchen.
