Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If you’re in a hurry, skip the dipping sauce and serve the shrimp with purchased sweet-and-sour sauce, available in the Asian foods section of most grocery stores.
  • tip 2
    These coconut shrimp pair beautifully with brown rice and a tropical fruit salad.
