Does anyone have a low carb recipe for coconut shrimp? Some gals in
another group I'm on have been talking about it, and it sounds
fantastic. I love shrimp, but have never tried coconut shrimp.

Hate to quote JC, but Coconut is not low carb. ;-)

Seriously tho, you should be able to substitute coconut extract (which
is available from the baking section at the grocery store) as your
coconut flavor, and slivered almonds for texture.

Uh, I beg to differ. Coconut IS low-carb. One cup of shredded unsweetened
coconut is only 8g net carbs. You'd likely only use about 1/4 cup or less
per serving in recipes.

If you eat a small enough portion of dogshit, it's low carb too.

No wonder you're fat.

Why do you bother with a low carb diet if you're going to stick anything and
everything into your gaping maw?

Ah, ok. :-)

I was looking at _fresh_ coconut!

I can't stand the dried stuff......

Even better. 1 cup shredded fresh coconut is only 5g net carbs. :-)

Huh? The hell it's not! Coconut is fine and low-carb. One ounce of
dried unsweetened coconut is 7 grams carb minus 4.5 grams fiber, for a
net of 2.5 grams per ounce. Do you have any idea how much dried coconut
there is in an ounce? A fair amount!

Would you be following a low carb diet if you only ate coconut?

Actually I just had to figure it out usinc my gram scale yesterday so I
could get some accurate numbers for the cookie recipe I was creating. The
finely-shredded dried unsweetened coconut is about ½c per oz. I don't have
the patience to mess with a fresh coconut 🙂.

(As an aside...I made coconut flour and almond flour and used them in my
cookies - per cookie net carb count is 0.87g - plus 0.88g fiber...and
they're REALLY good, especially with coffee!)

unsweetened coconut has 23.65g of carb per 100g according to usda
database... and there's quite a lot of coconut in 100g!

And 16.3g of that is fibre. According to Master Cook, 93g of dried coconut
is about 1 cup.

Oddly, though, it seems to do something nasty to my blood sugar waaay out of
proportion to its carb load. If I make a Thai curry with a coconut milk
base, my post-meal glucose readings are fine, but the next morning's
fastings will be too high. YMMV - but it might not be as innocent as it
seems. I now eat Thai curry only about once a month, it's too much of a soul
food not to eat it at all : )

Would you like to share your cookie recipe? *grin* They sound
wonderful. Coconut flour and almond flour? What do you do to make
that? Just grind them really fine?

Thank you Kay. I'm dying to try these now!!

Flourless since April 19, 2004

LOL I love your tagline 🙂. I put the recipe up at my site, it's at the
bottom of the lowcarb.owly.net/recipes.html page with explanations. I'm
finding that I like them better with my coffee (the only reason to have
cookies at all, IMHO <G>😉 than the chocolate almond cookies I make.

I use a coffee grinder just for that purpose. I can't put either of them
through my flour mill because of the oil content. I also use flax meal,
wheat bran, high-gluten wheat flour (minimally), CarbQuik (not so much
anymore), and soy flours in varying amounts, as well as ground pork rinds,
depending on what I'm making. But I almost always use combinations of the
above so I don't have to be "flourless" 🙂.

Me too! At first I thought it was something else in the curry, even
though I always order without potato. But, I had the same effect from
having a small bowl of a wonderful coconut-milk based soup. So, no more
coconut. I haven't had a problem with dried (unsweetened) coconut
flakes, though. So, go figure.
