Is Coconut Shrimp made with seed oils?
Usually seed oils
Usually fried in seed oils
Coconut shrimp is breaded, coated in coconut, and deep-fried, and the fryer oil is almost always soybean or 'vegetable' oil even though coconut is in the name. Our tracker estimates about 8g of PUFA for eight shrimp.
How to keep it seed-oil-free
The coconut coating does not change the fryer oil, so treat this like any other fried appetizer.
