Why I Love This Recipe
This is a clone but it tastes just like what you get in the Red Lobster restaurant.

1/2 pound Large Shrimp -- butterflied
1 cup Sweetened Coconut Fakes

Red Lobster Pina Colada Dipping Sauce:

3 oz. sour cream

Directions
Mix bread crumbs, 1/4 cup cornstarch, and coconut in a deep bowl and set aside.
Combine Pina Colada mix, powder sugar and rum in a small mixing bowl and set aside. Place 1/2 cup corn starch in a separate bowl. Heat oil for deep frying.
Oil is ready for frying shrimp with it reaches 375 degrees.
Coat shrimp first in corn starch, then into the Pina Colada mix, then dust shrimp in bread crumbs, coconut mixture.
Second coating place back into Pina Colada mix, then again into coconut, and then the bread crumb mixture.
