This recipe is a must-try! The coconut shrimp was crispy, tender, and full of flavor. The sauce was the perfect complement to the shrimp. I will definitely be making this again and again.

This recipe was a disaster! The shrimp were tough and the sauce was bland. I will not be making this again.

The shrimp were a little overcooked, but the sauce was delicious. I will try this recipe again and cook the shrimp for a shorter amount of time.
