  2. This was so good...I love cooking with coconut oil...yep...it doesn't taste like coconut at all...but I understand that it's good for you...this was a tasty and easy recipe to prepare...I think next time I would replace the ground coriander with the fresh cilantro...that would really take it over the top...thanks for posting it...:)
     
  3. This was my first attempt at using coconut oil. I made the sauc, toped it on salmon and then baked the salmon. Excellant. The fish was moist and the flavor is out of this world. Also noted, you can not taste the coconut oil.
     
  4. OMG, was this good. I took a little taste and now I can't wait for dinner tonight. The flavor is outstanding. The shrimp are perfectly cooked, moist, tender, juicy and oh so flavorful. This was the first time that I cooked with coconut oil, it certainly will not be the last. Thank you so much for sharing Ice Cool Kitty. I will be making this often. Made for ZWT7 for Witchin Kitchen.
     
  5. Delicious shrimp recipe! Very quick to make and lots of good flavor, although I couldn't detect any coconut flavor at all. This would be very nice served with rice.
