    These were amazing!!! I did have trouble with my coconut cooking a little fast and getting browner than I would have liked, but it didn't effect the taste. I used jumbo prawns and made a meal of them. My family like them so much that I made them again for dinner the very next day!

    LOVED the dipping sauce. The shrimp were just OK on their own, but the sauce COMPLETED them & made them MUCH BETTER.

    These were better than restaurant quality! I added a little touch of Panko the coconut (just for extra crunch). I added a little garlic powder and a tiny bit of cayenne to the batter. This is a keeper in our book. Thanks for a great recipe.
