Janet's Comments:
The addition of coconut to this breading is an act of genius! Plate these up for your next cocktail part or game night.

Ya' know, if you mix 1 cup of Panko breadcrumbs to the shredded coconut, the crunch will be OUTRAGEOUS!!

I thought about this all afternoon after reading the recipe....so I trotted over to the grocery store, and found SHRIMP WERE ON SALE, AND ALREADY DEVEINED! I made this recipe last night, using the mixture of panko and coconut (50/50 mixture). WOWEE...REALLY crunchy and delicious! BTW, that sauce is killer! Congrats on the Blue Ribbon!

This sounds great and I want to make it. I am just wondering... where do the other 2 tsp. of creole seasoning go?? The recipe calls for 3 but you only say add 1 in directions?

Deb....can't answer for Leah, but I don't use Creole seasoning, because my husband hates it. Footnote: I dipped the shrimp in the batter, and THEN rolled them in the coconut/panko crumbs. I didn't add the coconut to the batter. Turned out super.....and you HAVE to make that sauce!

Deb sorry I guess I meant to put it with the 3tsp. But you can add as much or as little that you like. I will fix that now.

Thanks, I kinda figured that, but wanted to be sure. My husband had never used creole seasoning until I moved from TX to PA. Now he put's Tony's on just about everything!! lol

YUM!!!
I used cream cheese and orange marmalade and peach preserves instead of the sweet and sour sauce.

Tess: you could probably use a Dijon mustard or a small bit of wasubi. The horse radish just gives it that extra kick. I promise you it is good.

You could also try a bit of hot sauce or red pepper flakes.
