  1. Really great recipe!! I wanted to make use of leftover sweetened coconut I had on hand, and this seemed to be a great fit. I love coconut shrimp, and the added benefit of it being healthy and baked was a bonus! No changes made - will definitely make again! Thank you!!
     
  2. This was absolutely fabulous! I used a bit more coconut than what is called for in the recipe and added about 1/2 tsp garlic salt to the coconut mixture. In addition, I used the Pina Colada Dipping Sauce from recipe #109488 instead of the orange sauce in this recipe. I love coconut shrimp when I go out to seafood restaurants, but have always avoided fixing it at home because I refuse to deep fry anything. This recipe allowed me to fix one of my favorite dishes without deep frying, and will be made often. Thanks so much for posting, KadesMom!

We have 2 little boys that keep us very busy. Many recipes I save are fast and easy:) I love to cook though, so I'm always looking for new recipes, including recipes that take time. LOVE this website! I love to cook, read, write and spend time with my family. We love the outdoors, including the winter when we get tons of snow. We're also owners of a coffee/icecream/gift/deli shoppe. We live in a tourist town surrounded by many lakes. Taste Of Home magazine is a favorite of mine and now recipezaar is a favorite too. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg">
