These were delicious! Have never had or made Coconut Shrimp prior to this and thought the recipe was easy to follow. If batter was thicker coconut might have coated better.

Tried this for my husbands birthday party. It was great! Everyone raved about it. Prep time was long, because of deveining. I made an orange marmalade dip - excellent. Coating was fine, I let it sit in the batter a bit longer, and it was thick enough! Enjoy!

To be honest the problems I encountered using this recipe might have been my fault as I’m not a very experienced cook. Anyway, the batter wouldn’t stick to the shrimp, even after adding additional flour. And what did stick to the shrimp came off in the fryer.

THE BATTER WOULD NOT STAY ON THE SHRIMP, I HAD TO ADD ADDITIONAL FLOUR AND THE SWEETENED COCONUT WAS APT TO STICK TOGETHER IN CLUMPS WHILE I WAS TRYING TO PRESS IT ONTO THE SHRIMP. WAS GREAT AFTER I MODIFIED THE RECIPE.

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!! Batter was thin but coated fine and turned out great. Restaurant quality or better. ( I used rice milk in place of regular milk due to multiple allergies)

Perfect recipe. I fried shrimp with and without the coconut. My family will probably never order fried shrimp out again because these were so good.
