Wookie Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Maggilu, if you go up to the top right of this page; in the search column insert "coconut shrimp"; change "This topic" to "Forums" by clicking on the words "This topic" and then selecting the words "Forums" you will find a lot of information on this subject ... too much for me to retype here.

bradshoe Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Tepetate Pien Thai is my new favorite. Previously Tony's was and a great contender although the last time I had it there the coating seemed a little heavy, still delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hensley Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Lety's in San Antonio. Cozumels in Chapala. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Tony's has a nice, light sauce with his. However, I find both Tony's and Lety's too heavily-coated, and often overcooked to the point almost of being burnt. On the other hand, perhaps that's just the way most people like it around here.

lindady Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Monte Cristo - very tender nice size shrimp with light coconut coating. I loved it because the coating did not overpower the shrimp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Do any of these places have a spicy version of coconut shrimp? I don't like the sweet kind that's often served with a mango-based salsa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ichbinsaege Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 The coconut shrimp at Cozumel in Chapala is very good. Comes with a salsa tamarindo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary c. Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Mario's in San Antonio. Husband, who is picky, likes it a lot. Ask for it, even if not on menu. You can ask for more heat in the sauce. Carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzanjo Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Second Leti in San Antonio. Mango sauce to die for. Mario's just West of the SA plaza has the best all around MX food. They cook up a special every day. Yummy! Lunch hours till 4:00 only. Don't like sweet version? Never heard of any other kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suegarn Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Peacock Garden does a nice coconut shrimp plate with lightly steamed vegetables and flavourful rice. It comes with the most amazing tamarind sauce on the side, so you can put as much or as little as you want on the shrimp. I love their sauce so much, I ordered a large container of it to take home!
