My coconut shrimp recipe is a fantastic keto snack. The lengthy, rough shredded coconut is my favorite. Shrimp cook more quickly the smaller they are. Serve alongside a hot aioli sauce.

Made this with cherry jello, cherry pie filling and pineapple and it was a hit at the potluck. It’s a good versatile recipe that can be changed up as needed. Thanks for submitting.
Awesome recipe this will be one of my family’s tradition from now on!!
My husband’s mom made this for him growing up and now it is a holiday staple. My family love it so I make it just as a reward throughout the year.
I made it with the cherry jello and cherry pie filling… I liked it better than the blueberry. great idea!
Tried this for a family party. It was a success! Very easy make
Good dish on a buffet table. Used grape jello (85 gram package is 3 oz)and blueberry pie filling, and skipped the pineapple because I didn’t have any. I thought there was way too much topping – easily cut in 1/2, and actually probably only used 1/4 of the topping in a 9×13 pan. Its more of a salad with less topping, you really only need a thin layer of it to enhance the dish not drown it. On the flipside, it would make a nice dessert if all the topping is used, so it depends on how you want to present this dish. Overall, its yummy and I would eat it again, interested in trying the raspberry cherry option too. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
I make this for every holiday and it is a hit with everyone, young and old. I put blueberries, black berries, and strawberries on the top of mine and it tastes delicious!
Everyone loved it, brought an empty dish home!
We made this a few days ago for my daughter’s grad supper. We made the cherry version with Cherry Jello and Cherry pie filling. It was excellent. I will make this again. Simple and a hit. I left the pineapple out. I think the only addition I would add sometime sprinkle with coconut over topping.
I love this! I remember it from family gatherings years ago. I like to add toasted pecans to the top. Also, I have used plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Very light and refreshing!
I decided to make this because it was rated so high. It was just to much between the fake grape flavor (which I knew before making) and the pineapple and the pie filling. The cream cheese portion of it was good, but that was all. I won’t be making it again.
LOVE
I made this but I put a differant spin on it. My family do not care for jello to much. I mixed the jello and then whipped the cream cheese and sour cream,pineapple together then folded it into the jello before it set then fold the blue berry pie into it. Put in refridge and let it set. Make a ghram cracker layer on the bottom if you wish. Its like pretty ble color and taste like cream cheese.
Made this for a family cookout and it went over very well. I was a little afraid that the grape jello would be over whelming but it wasn’t. Will make again.
I found this recipe after having something similar at a family Thanksgiving. It is every bit as good as that old recipe. I make it with dairy subsitiutes and my whole family loves it.
I grew up eating this. My family has been making this recipe for over 40 years. We use raspberry jello instead. Now my kids love it too! Try adding some finely chopped pecans on top.
Been making this for years. Always a big hit. But I always dot the top with fresh blueberries. Tastes great, and looks spectacular, like blueberries in fresh-fallen snow. In fact, that’s what my niece calls it: Blueberries in Snow.
excellent! not too sweet!
SO happy to find this recipe! My aunt used to make this every time we came to visit and it was always something I looked forward to. This is also good with black cherry jello and sprinkled with chopped walnuts!
The salad was gooey and was hard to get out of the bowl, besides that it was very sweet and had a “tang” to it.
it was very good it was really sweet and the topping was the best part it could of used some more jello to stiffin it up a bit.
