This was great! I found that I used a bit more coconut than the recipe called for (my pound was about 35 shrimp, and I used about 1.5 cups of coconut), but I had plenty of the flour mixture, just enough egg, and plenty of sauce. My guess is it's 1 point per shrimp, depending on the number of shrimp per pound.

This was delicious - close enough in flavor to the kind that is fried and high in fat. But I don't see how it can be only 1 point. As I figure, it is 8 WW points per serving. I'll be making it again anyway!
