I thought this was really good. About the only thing that I changed was that I used a 28oz can of mandarin oranges and just ate a few out of the can! I think you could almost get by with 8-10oz of the whipcream. In addition, I think chopped nuts would be good in this also.

These were great. We did run our Baker's coconut through the blender a few times and it seemed to stick to the batter better. We used large-jumbo shrimp and did not leave the tails on. That way all of it was edible. It did make the battering part a bit messier though. We used a light beer and could detect no beer flavor. We deep fried ours on the stove. Just watch the color. Batches took between 2 and 3.5 minutes depending on where the oil temperature was. If they are only taking 2 minutes, you probably want to turn down the temp or alternate and cook some frozen french fries to lower the temp of the oil. We put them in the freezer instead of the fridge to save time. Left them in there about 20 minutes. No problem with the batter not staying on. None of us like horseradish so we did not try the dipping sauce. We used a homemade sweet and sour sauce and it was good. A bit laborous, but so worth it.
