  • “Fantastic!Definitely better than typical restaurant coconut shrimp.I like it best with the Chipotle Aioli.”

  • “This shrimp recipe is wonderful, easy and quick. My new favorite recipe. The best sauce for this recipe is Red Lobster Pina Colada Dipping Sauce #384019. It’s like having dinner desert!”

  • “We could not stop eating these. Easily beats the restaurant. Keep the egg whites good and foamy (you may have to beat them again if they settle) and you’ll be amazed how much coconut you can press on. Next time I’ll use a little more ginger only because we love ginger. We used an apricot jam for dipping, but I enjoyed them with no dip at all.”

  • “My family and I really enjoyed these. The coconut breading was very light and tasty. Thanks for the keeper.”

  • “Had these tonight for supper…GREAT!Very quick and very, very tasty.Will add to my favorites.Thanks for sharing this recipe.”

  • “My NYE guests’ loved these shrimps.I recently bought a deep fryer and figured I would put it to use for my Latino themed dinner. One of my many appetizers included these shrimp delights 🙂 I originally served them with an orange marmalade #33239, however, my guests preferred the shrimp with a chipotle sauce #117297, I had made for my plaintain chips.Just a note to all deep fryer user(s), if you are frying a couple things in your deep fryer, I would leave the shrimp last, since the coconut flakes may get caught in the basket and make it quite messy.Thank you loads MizzNezz!”
