Just the recipe I was looking for and so delicious. I fried the shrimp the first time and the coconut burned and batter seemed to fall off. I did not cook all of them, so breaded the rest and put them in the freezer. The next time I cooked them right out of the freezer and they were perfect! I will definitely use this recipe again, but will always bread the shrimp and freeze before cooking

I had a lot of fresh shrimp that i got on sale and was looking for something different to do with them when on TV Paulas show was on and Bobby was making these coconut shrimp!! Kind of weird..Anyway, I made them and loved them. I would recommend this recipe and will most definately make again..Whole family loved them.

Note to Kristen - If you re read the recipe, you'll see that a wet batter IS called for in this recipe..When dredged in batter first, the breadcrumbs and coconut stick with no problem at all.

I was not surprised to see that Bobby's recipe for Coconut Shrimp was close to the one that I use. It seems like that everything that he prepares is to my liking.......sorry Paula!

The only difference in my recipe is that I use the very large (or jumbo shrimp and butterfly them. I also "dust" the shrimp with a dusting of flour and "Old Bay" seasoning (or any other paprika/garlic/onion powder based mix. I also use coconut milk in the batter in lieu of the water. I then use panko in lieu of flour.

I like to use a llittle minced onion and red pepper (or green if you don't have red. I also reduced the vinegar by 1/4th and added a little soy sauce. If you like the "bite" of the red peppers, you can add a dash or two of ground red or cayenne pepper.

I have not tried Bobby's recipe, but I am sure that it is equally good (or better since he is a "pro". I plan on doing so.......maybe he will try mine.

I have been looking for a good coconut shrimp recipe ever sence my husband fell in love with the them at Red Lobster. I made these up and he said that he couldn't tell the difference between the two. The recipe was so easy to follow and quick to make. Hats off to you!!!

The dipping sauce was DELICIOUS. But, the coconut and breadcrumbs didn't stick to the shrimp very well. Seems like a wet batter may be better for frying the shrimp. But, the sauce was VERY good -- the red pepper flakes add just the right amount of kick!
