I changed it up a bit, using ground almond flour it turned out great and topped it off with a mango salsa with a pineapple sauce too for dipping. Yummy! - 12/22/09

Super delicious!!! I loved these. I cheated a bit. I only had fully cooked frozen shrimp so I used that and it worked great! I will most definately be making this often. Thanks for the great recipe! - 3/1/11

These were phenominal. I am a huge fan of coconut shrimp, and had my doubts about the authenticity of these, but I was blown away. The only suggestion I can make is to make sure you really spray the pan well, because part of our coating stuck on some of the shrimp - 10/30/08

this was soooo good! I used Organic spelt flour instead of the cornstarch and agave nectar instead of honey, just to make it a little healthier. - 12/3/08

Loved them! I really enjoy coconut shimp but avoid them when I go out due to the deep frying. I make these at home and they are always a big hit. - 11/11/08
