Neely's Jumbo Coconut Shrimp and dipping sauce image

This is from the program of Food Network stars, Pat and Gina Neeley. I have made it a few times, and it is "off the hook" as Guy says. This was done in Feb of 2010. If you make it, be sure to include the dipping sauce because it is excellent as well.

I'm allergic to coconut, so I used almond flour instead of coconut flakes. The shrimp still turned out great!

These shrimp were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I used panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs and they turned out great. The shrimp were extra crispy.
