Captain Crunch and Cornmeal Shrimp

Recipesfull introduces to you: Shrimp Recipes. (Captain Crunch and Cornmeal Shrimp). Tried to make coconut shrimp only to find out I had no coconut. This quickly thrown together hodgepodge of three recipes turned out to be a winner. Super sweet by itself, but even better with the marmalade dipping sauce. My 2- and 6-year-old were big fans, too!
