  • Be sure to use sweetened shredded coconut in the recipe. It adds the extra sweetness that you will want with your shrimp.
  • Don’t try to fry all of the shrimp at once. Do a few at a time so you can keep an eye on them.
  • Place them on a paper towel to catch any extra oil drippings, and fry a few more. You can bake them all together after they have all turned a golden color in the oil.
  • You can easily make the Orange Marmalade Dipping Sauce ahead of time of while the shrimp is baking.

  1. Pam Douvia says:

    Are you sure you use cooked shrimp? Seems like you should use raw with all the cooking that’s involved.

  2. Sue LaMay says:

    What do s the water and oil mixture for???

  3. Cyd says:

    You are adding it to the flour mixture. It's all part of the mix.

  4. Mrs. A.E.McA says:

    I completely agree. Between frying until just browned then the oven? Raw shrimp, then cutting them a bit, after deveining without going through completely, of course, makes t appear more like a butterfly, I imagine, but makes the surface larger and less dense which cuts the cooking time further. Just a few thoughts. Hope they help. 🤗

  5. Judy Carter says:

    This looks so good,my mouth is watering! I am wondering if it would be possible to do this in an Air Fryer?

  6. Cyd Adamson says:

    It should work in the air fryer too. You might need to make some adjustments. We have not yet tried this recipe in the air fryer.

  7. Trish D says:

    Made this and I was complete failure. Not sure what I did wrong. The batter was too thin and did not stick on the shrimp. Then of course than they flaked coconut didn’t stick. Followed the recipe to the T.

  8. Erin C says:

    Is it supposed to be fresh frozen shrimp or cooked from the freezer section? Already cooked seems like it would be rubbery

  9. Momma Cyd says:

    You may want to use uncooked shrimp. We have used cooked shrimp before and just cook it a little less time. It worked out great too.
