A tasty coconut shrimp recipe

"Yum! I don't like shrimp so I substituted fake crab sticks. Instead of deep frying, I sauteed in peanut oil. Turned out great! I used Bob's Red Mill unsweetened coconut and it blended so well with the panko, even my non coconut eaters ate it. I thought the dipping sauce was very good. We had 2 who really liked the sauce, one that didn't, and one that refused to try it..."

This is the best recipe ever for coconut shrimp. Everyone, including my very picky critics at home, loves it.

Tried this recipe 2 nights ago on a whim. It was excellent and not that hard to make. Loved it and so did my husband (the perfectionist). Only thing I didn't have on hand was the orange marmalade. I substituted with apricot mango marmalade. Fantastic. Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe. Will definitely make this again soon!

These came out SO flippin' good! I made them for my dad's 60th birthday party. They were a big hit. I made a couple of different dipping sauces: the one in the recipe and then a spicy peanut one, and a non-spicy marmalade one.

Really nice... I'd probably put a bit more seasoning (salt & red pepper) next time. I'd also love to have a sweet chili oil dipping sauce with it maybe. But all went well with great results.

The shrimp came out so well and was so easy to make! Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The flavors were perfect. Will cook again! I can't comment on the sauce. I made my own. I'm sure it is lovely too.

These were awesome!! I used 2 kg of GIANT prawns and we ate them till we were sick!! Excellent!! I used fresh coconut and toasted it in a dry pan for 3 minutes before blending it with the bread crumbs. I also let them set up in the fridge for 30 minutes. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly!! Medal worthy for sure.

The shrimp looks amazing! I want to try this recipe soon, but I have 1 question: Did you use fresh or packaged coconut? I absolutely hate packaged, so I will use fresh regardless, but I'm just wondering. Thanks! Danny

Absolutely the best coconut shrimp ever! Everyone I've made this for is amazed at how good it is. I didn't use the orange dipping sauce - went for an apricot chili sauce instead.
