Shrimp breaded in POPCORN? No way . . . I' use cracker meal or tempura (mixed with beer) instead - much more tasty

This is not any true popcorn shrimp I have ever had. I am sure any one who has ever gone to a resteraunt and ordered popcorn shrimp received shrimp the size of popcorn not shrimp that had popcorm as the breading.
