Coconut Orange Shrimp

Recipe #39454 | 1¾ hours | 1½ hours prep | add private note

I love coconut shrimp. I came across this recipe in my newspaper one day and though to try it. It is outstanding. The hot sauce gives it the right amount of spice to go with the sweet of the coconut. Prep time includes marinating time.

I used no hot sauce in the batter and served with a spicy dipping sauce.

    I don't know what happen but the coconut didn't stick to the shrimps. It tasted a little too much coconut for my liking.

    yum! we just made this for dinner tonight and it was great served over brown rice. it was a bit too spicy for me so next time i'll add more o.j. and less hot sauce. great alternative to the high fat/high cal fried coconut shrimp!

    These were a big hit. I liked the banana pureed with everything. There wasn't even a crumb left for me to snack on the next day. Thanks for a great recipe.
