This is really simple to prepare and the directions are spot-on. We used vegetable oil but kept to specs otherwise. We felt the coconut flavor did not come through as much as we'd have liked. Next time we would maybe add coconut extract to the egg mixture. We also felt that a recipe for a coconut dipping sauce would definitely compliment the shrimp. Great recipe, just needs a bit of tweeking. Thanks for sharing it with us. :)

I am a retired school teacher and live in Hemingway, South Carolina, which is about 40 miles from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I taught Family and Consumer Sciences(formerly,Home Economics). I now work at the Boys & Girls Club of America here in my hometown. I also am a substitute teacher. Once a teacher, always a teacher. I enjoy cooking, especially for friends and family. I even prepare meals for my co-workers and take to work. They really enjoy them. Some foods I prepare, they have never had. My biggest meal of the year is at Christmas. Since I am not married and no children, my mother (since my father passed in 2003) and brother and his family comes for Christmas dinner. He has 8 children (whom are all grown up) and 7 grandchildren. So, I begin preparing,making the menu, buying items for dinner the day after Thanksgiving. <IMG
