Red Lobster Parrot Bay Coconut Shrimp Recipe

Recipe Rating: 4.8 (9 reviews)
 

Menu Description: " Jumbo butterflied shrimp hand-dipped in batter flavored with Captain Morgan Parrot Bay Rum & coconut flakes. Served with pina colada dipping sauce."

Fans of this dish say the best part is the pina colada dipping sauce. And it's true; that sauce is so good you could eat it with a spoon. But the coconut shrimp is pretty awesome too, just on its own. Red Lobster's secret formula includes Captain Morgan's Parrot Bay rum, which sweetens the batter and adds a great coconut flavor (plus you can whip up a nice cocktail with it while you're cooking, if that's your thing). Panko breadcrumbs -- which give a nice crunch to the batter -- can be found in the aisle of your market where all the Asian foods are parked.  This secret recipe makes two times the size of a serving you get at the Lobster, so there should be enough for everyone. The real thing comes with salsa on the side in addition to the pina colada sauce, but you may not even want to include it.

Great recipe. I used a different dark rum and fresh coconut. I tried with small shrimp, a disaster..larger shrimp works well, just a lot of prep time to butterfly.

I LOVE to make this recipe!! It's great. I even batter them all up and make extra to freeze. I use the smaller shrimp and they don't require thawing before frying.

I was disappointed in this. I like the Red Lobster version much better, as far as the sauce is concerned.

This was incredible!! We could not stop eating the shrimp. I used size 31/40 shrimp. The flour, batter and breading was just enough for an entire pound of shrimp.

This recipe is AMAZING! I have made it several times and my family goes ga ga over it! Also, you can make large quantities of the shrimp itself and freeze it in Plastic freezer bags, pull them out as you need them, and make the dipping sauce when you want it! I've saved so much money not having to go to Red Lobster to get my favorite treat!
