Authentic Louisiana Cajun restaurants were rare in Philadelphia back in the 1980s. We only had Cafe Nola on South Street and Magnolia Cafe on Locust Street. But for me, it was Magnolia Cafe that ignited my love affair with coconut shrimp. Since most coconut shrimp recipes aren’t gluten free (boo!, hiss!), I had to create my own…a Gluten Free Coconut Shrimp recipe that I’d love to share with y’all.
