Why did I ever think these were hard to make? EASY. I like the purity of this recipe. I used key lime from my yard in the honey. My shrimp were 31-40 tail on. This size only needed 10 minutes. I like the tail on so there is a little handle. I had to use more coconut and next time would sprinkle just a little on top of each prior to baking. Butterflying the shrimp would allow it to hold more coconut. I put a dab of mango jam with lemon juice mixed in it on each and that was wonderful.
