Can do the same thing with chicken as well, which is a great alternative to a guest with shellfish allergies. I made both and the reviews were - yum!

I could not get the batter to stick to the shrimp. I even try to refridgerate them for 45 min with no luck.

My husband adores Coconut Shrimp, so I tried this recipe. He absolutely loved it! Much lighter than the "store bought" kind!!

This was fantastic. Put it in the fridge for about 30 mins. and fried it in olive oil. Served it w/ the plum sauce you buy at the store. Absolutely wonderful!! Will definitely make again and again.

this was AWESOME.... I added some garlic, a little red pepper to the flour and fresh rosemary to the coconut. for sauce i used key lime yogart and crushed pineapple. Better than any resturant

This recipe was great!!! Like other users have advised I put them in a fridge for an hour before frying and they came out perfectly!

The coconut batter wouldn't stick to the shrimp, it turned out to be awful. Didn't taste that great either.

Sorry Kraft, although I have loved many recipes I have made from you, this is not one of them! I don't know if I messed up by doing something wrong or what, but the coconut didn't stick at all... it just clumped up. YUK... will never try again! For those of you who want fried shrimp, just throw them in some flour w/ different seasonings mixed in it.
