Coconut Shrimp

I need new baking sheets. Whenever long time ago, we bought an el cheapo set of 3, and they have finally met their maker. I know my mother would say to soak them in ammonia, but I've tried it and there's no rescue. So, I'm looking for a decent set. Hey you, yeah you, the only person looking at this--the one who found me by googling "Cat in the Hat Cake," do you have nice baking sheets? What kind are they?

The meal that broke the cookie sheet's back was Coconut Shrimp. I've made them before with success, and they came out well this time too, but one pan burned pretty badly while the other didn't burn, but stuck to the pan and made it not even worth flipping them. Nonetheless, this was so tasty, I'll definitely make it again. It was easy to put together, and we had fun dredging. Our soon to be 3 year old wouldn't taste his, though, which I thought a little strange since he has liked shrimp in other incarnations...
