Love this recipe! Last time I made coconut shrimp I was so frustrated with the breading just falling of & floating in the oil. This time, we had a finished product worthy of being called "Coconut Shrimp"! Super easy recipe. I think it was 30 minutes max, using the deep fryer. Thanks for sharing another great recipe, Everything Sweet! Made & enjoyed for Fall 2009 Pick A Chef. You've been adopted! :) http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=310505
