[@ChefBillyParisi]

[@anissiamonserrate5605]

I had some shrimps and was not sure what to do; you gave me a great idea. Happened to be I had all ingredients and shrimp is for dinner today. They came out SUPER good! Thank you!!!!

[@ChefBillyParisi]

perfect!

[@davemanone3661]

I made some a few nights ago. The dipping sauce was cocktail sauce, peach preserve and chinese BBQ sauce mixed together.

[@aldophwilson]

I'll have to try the orange marmalade next time. I usually use Apricot jam with the sweet chili sauce. I will try it with the honey, Dijon mustard, and hot sauce.

[@joshs3775]

You just blew my mind with the deveiner

[@lisahidlay4563]

Yum 😋 Can't wait to make these tonight! Chef Billy, if I freeze these, do I need to thaw them before frying them or do I put them directly into the oil from the freezer? TYIA

[@ChefBillyParisi]

yup, freezer to oil!

@@ChefBillyParisi you are a gem! Definitely the most underrated chef on UA-cam; you deserve 20 million subscribers!

Hello Billy.
I am planning to make these next week. Nice coincidence.
Your sauce is very similar to the one I make.
My Shrimps though, I like to flatten them out. Makes for a different bite. They look bigger too.
I also like to splash them with Lemon sometimes.
Since I have a big bag of 16-20s, I'm making Seafood shells tomorrow. That'll be great too.
Thanks, Billy & be well & safe.

You forgot to add sugar in the dipping sauce.

[@tjones756]

Unnecessary if using the orange marmalade

[@anitraahrens905]

The dipping sauce contains honey. No sugar needed.

[@anitraahrens905]

The recipe uses SWEETENED shredded coconut, too.

[@TeenyWeeny]

why nobody talks about de-pooping? nobody really removes the poop sack? I'm I the only one who does?

[@birgittechristensen4208]

You should absolutely remove it before cooking.👏

[@JackT702]

You should’ve done a really bad April Fools recipe today

[@ChefBillyParisi]

😂

[@Floatflyer1]

A nice video but would be more enjoyable IF you put your hands in your pockets! Looks like you are chasing flies away.

[@dragons8822]

I love your ingredients but you talk way too much & don't show enough details of this recipe.

[@letsgomets002]

You hardly seasoned anything

The Jamaican womens recipe is way better

[@ChefBillyParisi]

did you try both?

[@joshs3775]

Nice video! I don't mean to be rude at all but you use your hands so much when you talk its super distracting

[@kjrt8058]

Because of pancreatitis, I have to have very low fat, but you can make these with Eggbeaters and then put them in an air fryer to cut out a lot of the fat. They're still good!

[@anitraahrens905]

That's a great idea!

[@ChefBillyParisi]

make it work for you!!

[@CyndieSebourn]

I made this for a friend and me last night. It was awesome!

[@cynthiaamitrano8915]

Yummy yum yum my favorite

[@fayeliu2601]

Is it possible to oven fry? Do you have a recipe for it too? Thank you 🙏🏻!

[@ChefBillyParisi]

Possibly.
