I love coconut shrimp when we eat out, but it is so high in fat and sodium, it has to be an occasional treat. I did not use the rum, but used 1 Tbsp each of rum and coconut flavoring. Everything else was as the recipe says. I am surprised low fat with the deep fry, but tasty and my family loved it - 9/11/08
