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.
