Coconut Shrimp Sauce (Red Lobster Copycat)
Description
The Coconut Shrimp Sauce (Red Lobster Copycat) features plain yogurt combined with canned crushed pineapple, finely shredded unsweetened coconut, sugar, and salt. Mixing these ingredients creates a smooth and slightly sweet sauce, ideal for pairing with crispy fried shrimp. The yogurt base provides a creamy texture, while the pineapple adds fruity acidity, and the coconut offers a subtle nutty flavor. It's stirred together quickly and can be served immediately or chilled for a couple of hours to deepen the flavors. This sauce also pairs nicely with foods beyond shrimp, such as tacos or burgers, to add a tropical twist.
Ingredients
- 5.3 oz. yogurt plain, Greek, or dairy-free
- ¼ cup pineapple canned, in pineapple juice, crushed
- 2 Tbsp. unsweetened coconut finely shredded
- 1-2 tsp. sugar or coconut sugar
- ⅛ - ¼ salt to taste
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Stir all sauce ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl. Whisk or stir with a spoon until smooth and combined.
- Serve immediately or place in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours to serve chilled.
Notes
- Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Choose canned pineapple packed in juice rather than syrup to avoid extra sweetness.
- Mix well before serving if the sauce separates during refrigeration.
- This versatile sauce can be prepared ahead and served chilled for improved flavor.
