Rose's Notes:
Shrimp and Coconut....my husband and kids love them.

Directions

Prepare shrimp: Place flour in a medium bowl. Whisk pancake mix, salt and 1 cup water in another bowl to form a smooth batter. Place coconut in another bowl.

Dredge 1 shrimp at a time in flour, shake off excess, hold shrimp by tail, dip into batter, allow excess to drip off and make a well in coconut and drop in batter coated shrimp and cover with coconut press to adhere. Repeat... use a little extra water if batter thickens.

Sauce: Mix all ingredients together, set aside and serve with shrimp.

I place my shrimp on wax paper and freeze before I fry them and the coconut adheres and just fry directly from the freezer in batches. Do not crowd the shrimp when frying. Place on baking sheet in a warm oven while frying all the shrimp. Serve. Enjoy.

Hi Karla and Colleen: Two of my favorite cooks. Karla your cheesecake recipe is soooo good, I make one with 7 8oz. pkgs. of cream cheese that my family loves but when I made your, they loved that also. I'll be posting cheesecake recipes as I make them. Usually once the Summer comes along, it's things that don't need much refrigeration for barbeques. Can't wait to see what you ladies post next. Thanks, Rose

You didn't include how long the shrimp have to cook,due to the fact they are frozen when put into the oil?? Give me a heads up..Thanks

I use the large ones, so it's only 5 minutes but you can tell by the smell as they are cooking, does that make sense to you, I hope so, sorry that's how I do it. Thanks and enjoy
