PARMESAN ROASTED GREEN BEANS & PLUM TOMATOES

WASH AND TRIM YOUR GREEN BEANS. WASH PLUM TOMATOES. LAY BOTH ON A SHEET PAN AND DRIZZLE WITH OIL OF YOUR CHOICE. (I USED AVOCADO OIL-BUY IT HERE, BUT OLIVE OIL IS FINE.)

SPRINKLE WITH SALT AND PEPPER AND TOSS TO COAT.

ROAST AT 400 DEGREES FOR 5 MINUTES. STIR. ROAST AN ADDITIONAL 8 MINUTES TO KEEP GREEN BEANS CRUNCHY OR LONGER IF YOU DON'T WANT THEM CRUNCHY.

ONCE OUT OF THE OVEN IMMEDIATELY SPRINKLE WITH SHREDDED PARMESAN OR ASIAGO CHEESE. RETURN TO THE OVEN FOR ONE MINUTE TO MELT.

4. Lay shredded potatoes on the hot oil, spreading in a thin layer.

YOU KNOW THE COCONUT SHRIMP THEY SERVE AT WEDDINGS? THIS MUST BE THEIR RECIPE!!!!!!

THIS RECIPE SURPASSED MY EXPECTATIONS!!!! THE COATING WAS INCREDIBLY CRISPY AND STAYED ON PERFECTLY! IT'S A BIT TEDIOUS BREADING EACH SHRIMP BUT WELL WORTH THE EFFORT IF YOU HAVE THE TIME ONE NIGHT! I MADE OURS GLUTEN FREE AND USED BETTER BATTER FLOUR IN PLACE OF THE ALL PURPOSE.
1 lb. Raw Shrimp (defrosted, pre-cleaned/peeled)
1 cup Flour ( I used Better Batter Gluten Free)
1 cup Cornstarch
4 tsp. Baking Powder
Pinch of Salt
1 tsp. paprika
1 Cup cold Water (I needed a lot more than a cup-add slowly after the 1c until a thick pancake batter consistency)
14 ounce bag Shredded and Sweetened Coconut

Mix flour, cornstarch, salt, paprika ad baking powder. Add water until a thick pancake batter consistency. Dip shrimp in batter then into the coconut, pressing it on. I fried these in avocado oil from Chosen Foods. Sprinkle sea salt on top once both sides are fried golden brown.

Dip in apricot jam if deisred or orange marmalade with a splash of fresh orange juice-But it was so good that ours required no dipping of any kind!!!
SHRIMP ADAPTED FROM OH, BITE IT
