I followed the recipe exactly and the shrimp came out overcooked. I think I would cook them for a shorter amount of time next time.

These coconut shrimp were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had added some spices to the coating.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but these shrimp were surprisingly good. The coconut coating was crispy and flavorful, and the shrimp were cooked perfectly. I would definitely make these again.
