Amazon has these reviews scrambledAug 02, 2009
By Joe Bob "Barefoot Okie in FL"
I'm rating this a very neutral three stars - because it's just a warning that Amazon has these reviews scrambled. This item is supposed to be the Omaha Steaks 1lb Snow Crab Cocktail Claws. Before you rate the reviewers down for posting to the wrong product (i.e. crab cakes, shrimp cakes, or seafood-stuffed mushrooms), try to post a reply to one of the reviews, then look at the picture of the product reviewed. You'll see that the reviewers actually reviewed the correct products - but Amazon scrambled the reviews for three different products here.
 Coconut shrimp--coconut flavor OVERPOWERING...Dec 04, 2010
By Kristina Thompson
We received these Omaha Steaks brand Coconut shrimp as a gift. I like coconut is some preparations (pina coladas, certain cookies), but I don't eat it as a snack. I enjoy the scent of natural coconut.
Though these shrimp are edible, the coconut aroma and subsequent taste overpower anything else. Even from the oven, the only thing that I can smell is coconut. When eaten, they leave a strong aftertaste that for a while makes one wonder if by mistake you consumed a coconut-scented wax candle by mistake. This holds true even when drenched with cocktail sauce to try to drown out the coconut.
I cannot imagine that the overpowering odor is natural coconut, which I find to be pleasant. One of the listed ingredients is "Artificial Flavor," which likely means that Omaha Steaks attempted to "enhance" the flavor in some way. Unfortunately, I can't tolerate the resulting smell, which is an integral part of the perceived flavor when eaten.
In short, if you're a huge coconut fan, or if your sense of smell is inoperative, then these might be for you. If you are an occasional consumer of coconut, then proceed with great caution.

 You should include cooking directions in the descriptionAug 28, 2007
By Amy in SC

Cooking directions should be included with the description. These are "pan fry only." I thought they could be baked. I ASSUMED, which was wrong. I'm giving these to the neighbor.

 love themSep 08, 2007
By From NY
I love these shrimp cakes. At first I did not know how to cook them. So I kind of ruined two of them. But my mother cooked them perfectly. Delicious. Just pan fry it. Do not add too much oil. You can just spray olive oil on the pan and fry each side few minutes.
