    Yummy! Panko and coconut makes it. Dipped in egg wash then the panko and coconut. Put in refrige for about an hour so breading sticks. Dipping sauce used the marmalade with fresh mango and horseradish to taste. Mixed in food processor and served with shrimp.

    Agree with the Panko! This is the perfect recipe that matches what we like to order when going out!

    Loved the sauce, I will keep it as is, loved the sweet and zingy taste, perfect contrast against the sweet coconut shrimp--which I made from another online recipe by Paula, "Coconut Shrimp with orange marmalade." That recipe was great, but she made the fry temp too high at 350 and the shrimp overbrowned, so I tried it at 325, perfectly golden brown. I"m glad to see this recipe shows 325 fry temp too; I know that now myself! I hope to try this version of coconut shrimp one day and compare it to the other...but THIS sauce is a keeper for sure and I have no need to keep searching!

    I've been looking for a coconut shrimp recipe for some time. I came across this one. No need to look any further. These were delicious. The only changes to the recipe I made were that I used already peeled and deveined shrimp, Panko crumbs and apricot preserves. I plan to make these as an appetizer for the holidays and it's nice to know that I can freeze them ahead of time. Thanks to everyone's great advice in the reviews.

    This is the best coconut shrimp recipe but used panko bread crumbs instead and it made it so light and crispy My neighbor who does not like shrimp devoured them and wants me to make some more tonite!!! Thanks Bobby!!!

    I went to visit my daughter and her family to help her prepare for my grandson's high school graduation party. He asked me to make him some coconut shrimp for dinner that evening. This is the recipe I found and am I ever glad I did. He LOVED the dipping sauce. As a matter of fact, when he got up the next morning, he asked if there was any more sauce. I had to make an additional batch. The entire family loved it. This is a keeper for me. The shrimp batter recipe was excellent as well.

    These are so good!! My family loves them. They are a little messy and time consuming to make, but well worth it. I really like the dipping sauce too - it's a perfect compliment.

    My family really liked these shrimp. I used Panko Bread crumbs instead of regular bread crumbs, otherwise followed the recipe exactly. Recipe was easy to make. I served it with stir-fried veggies in the wok with garlic and it made a great meal.

    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
