Coconut Shrimp Cakes

[pamperedkel]

I was wondering if anyone has had any trouble keeping the coconut shrimp cakes to "stick" together? I tried them this weekend because I am making them at my show this week. Although they were very yummy , They kind of fell apart when I what taking them off the stone. I was thinking maybe more bread crumbs or maybe I should cook them longer. Maybe both? Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

I use more coconut (Beth's favorite item ) than the recipe calls for. I also let them cool a bit before removing. It lets them "set" a bit (sort of like cookies when they're still too warm).

Thats the way mine came out too. Next time i think i will use more breadcrumbs.

I finally tried them this weekend - I had a consultant make them as the demo at our meeting this month. I thought they were good - for a coconut recipe but I don't think I'll make them at home unless I have other things for me - I could still taste the coconut.
