Chef Notes Orange Horserdish Marmalade
By the way, coconut shrimp has been around since the 1980s. Since things are considered antique after 25 years, I believe that this recipe is vintage. In fact, it was so popular that almost every restaurant you went to had it on the menu. Not only was coconut shrimp popular but so was the sauce that almost always accompanied it. Most often it was an orange marmalade sauce with stone ground mustard and some sort of horseradish. Enjoy with Gluten-Free Coconut Shrimp and Dairy-Free Coleslaw.
