Reviews
Perfect every time! Not overly breaded or greasy. Absolutely delicious.
Wow. Very simple and easy and is so delicious. Love the Neelys
First time making this dish. My husband said it was the best he ever had!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! We are retired and have never tried coconut shrimp – we had no idea what we were missing! This recipe is PHENOMENAL – you have to try it. My husband LOVED it and we are putting it on our rotation menu. We didn’t try the dipping sauce because we didn’t have any marmalade. We didn’t have a deep fryer- we just just used a skillet with peanut oil. The only change I made was instead of the 1 cup flour, I used 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 cup cornstarch (cornstarch makes fried food crispier). This is an amazing recipe – everyone should try this recipe – you won’t be disappointed.
Love the recipes quick and easy especially the zesty sauce. Got me hooked every time with shrimp my go to recipe
Easy and fabulous. I don’t have a deep fryer so I did them in a sauté pan with some vegetable oil and they came out perfect.
So easy & so good!! Definitely saving this recipe and making them again!
This was very good and I will definitely be making this again. Identical to the Bone Fish Tia Coconut Shrimp that they no longer make. Glad I found this recipe.
I wish there was a video of them making them, but it’s a very delicious recipe
Plan to make soon after reading your rave reviews! Miss y’all!
