Coconut shrimp is a favorite of mine. I generally use cayenne pepper on mine. But, I love the idea of incorporating the Thai bird chiles!

Marx Foods has a great cupboard of spices! I like what you did here – they look so crispy and not all greasy. I was wondering if you made some sort of sweet dipping sauce to counterbalance the heat.
