Made this last night-it was delicious. I ended up buying unsweetened coconut--so I just added a little honey to the egg whites. I blended together some fat free plain yogurt, 2tsp honey, fresh mango and fresh ginger to make a quick dipping sauce. This is definitely going in to my dinner rotation! - 3/16/11

Oh. My. Gosh. These were amazing. The texture was awesome. Light, not greasy like when they are fried. It was a real weekend treat! They were a little bit of work, but WELL worth it. Served it with an orange marmalade and light horseradish mayo mixture to dip. Paired with an Asian Salad. Perfect! - 3/3/12

AWESOME recipe! My family couldn't believe it was healthy either! Thank you so much from my coconut loving family!
I also purchased shrimp with 'no tail shells'. Made the recipe easier to just fork and eat! It took some time to make but that's because I made over 40. It's messy to make, but GOOD! - 11/23/11

This was an great recipie! My hubby loves seafood n I don't, although I am learning. This is one of the few seafood that I like and now I can make it healthy! Only neg comment is that for us, we had tons of coconut and cornstarch mixture leftover, which made the nutritional info grossly wrong. - 11/15/10
