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

Very tasty and extremely easy to fix. I served with an orange marmalade, dijon mustard and horseradish sauce. My 6 year old loved it! Thanks for sharing the 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!
