This is fabulous - just as good as Bahama Breeze. I added the 1/2 cup extra coconut to the batter and it worked great! I have tried it chilling 1/2 hour and all day and it doesn't seem to make a difference. My college student took every last shrimp with her when she went back to school!!!!

Unbelievably GOOD, especially with the marmalade dipping sauce. I made this for my family with home cut fries and deep fried those while I pan fried the shrimp. Deeee-LISH!

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.

Worth the effort and time. I had way too much batter left over, so I dipped bite size chicken breast pieces and froze for later. I pressed the coconut in with my fingers to keep better in place. I placed prepared shrimp in the freezer for 30 minutes, then fried on the stove top in a minimum of oil, next time will use more oil. Next time I will also press more coconut in for more coconut flavor. I butterflied half the shrimp, and preferred them that way, they also provided a better presentation.

You must chill for the 1/2 hr but it is soooo worth it. If this was a dish @ a restaurant I would order it everytime. Cheers!

I've made this so many times now that it has become my "signature" dish. One thing I do that differs from the recipe is that after I peel the shrimp, I douse them in garlic powder then put them back in the fridge for a few hours (or overnight). Refrigeration of battered shrimp is key to success. I have made them the day before cooking and it works well. I batter large batches at a time, then put some on a cookie sheet lined with parchment and covered with plastic wrap and freeze. After frozen solid, I transfer to freezer bags. When I'm ready to use them, I place shrimp on a cookie sheet in fridge to thaw. Perfect!

This recipe tasted okay, but I also found that it was a little bit too much work for the turn out I got. The batter seemed to be separated from the shrimp after I cooked it, and I could almost pull the shrimp out of the batter completely.

Great recipe, great flavor! I made the orange marmalade dipping sauce as others suggested... 1/2 cup orange marmalade, 2 tsp honey dijon, 1 tsp horsradish and 1 tsp honey..delicious! I think i fried the shrimp a little to long, so next time ill just fry until lightly golden brown.

The shrimp didn't have flavor at all. It tasted weird, not like any restaurant I've had it at and I tasted more beer than anything and I don't care for the taste of beer..blah Some people suggested adding all these spices and flavors, etc, but that defeats the purpose of rating the recipe as it is.. So as it is, I don't like it.Sorry to all the people that liked it after changing/modifying/and adding spices and flavor :(

OH YEAH!!! Awesome. These shrimp are perfect! We tried the orange marmalade/ mustard/horseradish thing and couldn't come up with just the right taste. Wound up using a spicy asian chili sauce instead. Need to find a better dipping sauce, but the shrimp?! -- PERFECT!
