I have seen chefs make similar prawns before and was always scared to try it at home because it looks so time comsuming and well.... it is but it is well worth it. I added fresh mango, jalepeno pepper jelly, red onion and lots of fresh cilantro to my dipping sauce and it was wonderful. This is a recipe I will make for special occasions and for the family since they loved it so much.
Fabulous sauce

I made this as an appetizer for our (nontraditional) Thanksgiving. It was a very well recieved. I wasn't sure how my family would take the curry sauce but they were very pleased.
Nothing Short of Fabulous

My husband's the cook at our house, and even I made this dish delicious! I made Jasmine rice to go with it, flavored with coconut milk, mint and lime (found the recipe elsewhere.) Also, instead of curry paste, I used chile paste...it was perfect!!
Disappointed

The curry sauce was just too hot and had no flavor. I think it was a mistake to put the lime juice in it.
Easy, Cheaper than Restaurant and Delicious

Coconut shrimp was my son's favorite ever since he has teeth to eat. But it cost alot in the restaurant ($8.95 for 5 shrimps), and I didn't know how to make them. Until I saw this episode on TV and gave it a try, to my surprise, this recipe turns a novice chef (myself) into an expert. My husband said it tastes just like the one from the restaurant only in a smaller version! My son said it was BETTER than the restaurant, and he was so happy that I've made it for him.
just like the restaurants

I though this recipe was wonderful the peanut oil really does make a difference it didn't taste greasy at all! I used an apricot marinate instead of the curry!
Great starter

We only made the shrimp and used a couple of different dipping sauces. We served this as a first course for a dinner party - made great presentation for a first course. The shrimp was very easy. I have tried other coconut shrimp recipies, and this is the best. We used jumbo prawns.
Delicious!

I came across Thai food about 2 years ago,when I started working. Oneday,my Thai co-worker brought papaya salad to work place.I basically cannot eat spicy food, but she encouraged me to try one and since then, I came to like Thai food and started making other Thai food now and then. So, I tried this receipe right away andhmm, it was tasty! My husband loved that too. It maybe good idea to show us your version of papaya salad and maybe Thai Style and Vietnamese Style. It is quick and tasty too!

very, very good. Coconut shrimp is always a restaurant favorite, but seems a bit hard to accomplish at home. This recipe was straight forward and easy to follow....be sure and use coconut flakes that are "small" as it will help it "stick" to the shrimp.
Great party pleaser

The very first time I made this was for a small dinner party. This was served before the meal and it went over BIG TIME. I am sure all of us could have just kept eating the coconut shrimp and forgotten all about the rest of the dinner. LOVED IT!

I made these shrimp for my son's birthday party. I made them ahead of time and fried them just before my guests came over. Everyone loved them especially my husband. The sauce was great, spicy but not mouth burning. In AZ we like our sauces hot. I will definately make these again.
Coconut Shrimp with Red Curry Sauce

Coconut Shrimp with Red Curry Sauce less the Red Curry Sauce because I thought as wellas the person I was cooking for that it might be just a little too spicy for them. I my self thought this recipe was very easy to follow and would cook it again with the Red Curry Sauce. Great recipe!
Shrimp good, sauce bad!

These were delicious 5-star coconut shrimp! I added a little panko to the coconut to make them even crispier. The sauce only gets 1-star, though, because it is WAAAAY too spicy (and I really do like spicy foods). It was painful. I honestly don't understand how some other reviewers didn't think so. I can only guess that some brands of red curry paste are much hotter than others and that I bought a firecracker! I thought it was curious that the directions on the jar suggested to mix 1 teaspoon with 1 can (about 2 cups) of coconut milk, but Tyler said to mix 2 TABLESPOONS with 1 CUP of coconut milk. I should have followed the suggestion on the jar, then added more if I needed it - I guess that's what I get for not tasting as I prepare! In Tyler's proportions, the sauce was inedible. I added the remainder of the can of coconut milk - still inedible. I then added about a half can of evaporated milk - this made the sauce edible, but it was still quite spicy. It's a shame because the flavor of the sauce was quite good, other than the heat. I'll make it again using 1 teaspoon of paste instead of 2 tablespoons.
Easy & Yummy, yummy, yummy

I didn't know making coconut shrimp could be so easy. This recipe was a good as what we get in our favorite restaurant and better than we've had in most. Preparation was a little messy but that is expected when you are breading anything.
A big hit!!

These were soooo easy to make. I didnt make the sauce but the shrimp came out as good, of not better than an order of these at any 5 star restaurant! Great for dinner with rice (as i did) or an appetizer to wow guests!

I thought his recipe was excellent, though the coconut didn't adhere to the shrimp as well as I had hoped. I actually doubled the curry paste in the sauce. I'm surprised that one viewer found it too spicy! It's a very easy recipe and I can't wait to make it again soon. A definite keeper!
Excellent and easy

The shrimp were kind of bland, but the sause was really tastey. It was a little spicey for my family, so I toned down the heat with extra coconut milk. But overall it was really good. So good that I got cravings for the sauce!
loved it!

I actually made just the sauce, to go with Bob Blumer's Lollypop Coconut Shrimp. The sauce recipe as written is one-dimensional. I halved the recipe and decreased the red curry paste to 2 teaspoons, added a couple more tablespoons of coconut milk, then added some salt and a tiny splash of vanilla extract. The vanilla really rounds out the flat flavor. Vanilla and seafood are an odd but popular pairing.
Better than a Restaurant!!

Great recipe and surprisingly easy. I recommend only half of the curry paste. The brand I bought by Thai Kitchens was too hot and I had to double the coconut milk to make edible. Don't skimp on the mint, it really tastes great. Oh, and I tried this with Scallops, and it worked to perfection.
Very good!

I followed the directions exactly, but the sauce turned out so bitter that my husband and I could not eat it. I think I must have let the sauce simmer a little too long with the half a lime in it. Wasted a whole can of coconut milk and a half a jar of Thai Chili paste, too. There should really be something noted in the recipe about waiting until the very last thing to add the lime.
Good Meal

Very Tasty not too spicy. I would recommend using a dryer form of the cocunut. Possibly unsweetened otherwise the cocunut will not stick.
Good
