Panko & Coconut Shrimp with Cilantro Rice and Pineapple Cucumber Raita Dipping Sauce

These shrimps ROCK !  I was amazed at how good these babies were. I have tried Coconut Shrimps at restaurants and they were only so-so. I make them round, not butterflied. Butterflying makes them thin and either I had them overcooked or worse, undercooked. the Japanese Panko bread crumbs and sweet cocont brought these jumbo shrimps to life. The Pineapple Cucumber Raita sauce was awesome. Try this.
