Discover the Best Coconut Shrimp in the Greater Seattle Area
At Buddha Bruddah, we don’t just serve appetizers; we serve experiences. Our Eight Piece Coconut Shrimp is a testament to the vibrant fusion of Thai and Hawaiian culinary traditions. While many restaurants rely on pre-frozen, factory-breaded seafood, we stick to the traditional art of hand-rolling every single shrimp in our kitchen. This dedication to quality is why locals from Seattle (Beacon Hill) to Kirkland keep coming back for more.
A Tropical Twist on a Pacific Northwest Staple What makes our coconut shrimp a local favorite? It’s the balance. We start with jumbo, succulent shrimp and coat them in a delicate, thin pastry-like panko layer mixed with sweet coconut flakes. Every roll is flash-fried until it reaches a stunning golden-brown, creating a "shatter-crunch" exterior that gives way to a steaming, flavorful shrimp center.
Perfect for Lunch, Dinner, or On-the-Go Served hot and fresh at our brick-and-mortar locations and our roaming Food Truck, these shrimps are the ultimate companion to our famous Mixed Plates. Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch in Bothell or sitting down for a family dinner in Shoreline, the first bite of our coconut shrimp, dipped in our signature sweet chili sauce, is the moment you truly feel the "Aloha spirit."
Quality & Ingredients
The Crunch of the Islands
Our Coconut Shrimp starts with jumbo, plump shrimp selected for their size and texture. Each shrimp is hand-dipped in an egg wash and coated with a specialized blend of Japanese panko breadcrumbs and shredded coconut flakes. We deep-fry them at a precise temperature to ensure the coating achieves a shatter-ingly crisp texture without overcooking the tender shrimp inside. The result is a tropical, slightly sweet profile that pairs harmoniously with the mild heat of our Thai sweet chili dipping sauce. No shortcuts, just a classic fusion of Asian techniques and Hawaiian flavors.
Perfect Pairings
Complete Your Fusion Feast
These coconut shrimps are the ideal starter for any of our heavy hitters. To keep the tropical theme going, pair them with our Thai Iced Tea, which complements the coconut notes beautifully. If you’re moving on to a main course, they act as a fantastic crispy contrast to the smoky, tender Kalua Pork. For those who love a variety of textures, adding an order of Spam Musubi alongside these shrimps creates the ultimate "surf and turf" appetizer spread for your table.
