COCONUT SHRIMP WITH SPICY MANGO DIPPING SAUCE
Steps:
- Make the dipping sauce first by adding all the ingredients to a blender and blend for 1 minute or 2 until the sauce is smooth. Refrigerate the sauce until shrimp is ready for serving.
- Fill a Dutch oven or a deep frying pan with vegetable oil, about 1 1/2 inches deep and heat.
- While the oil is hot, prepare 3 shallow plates. Add the breadcrumbs to one plate, beat the eggs with salt and pepper in another plate and place the shredded coconut in the 3rd plate.
- Dredge the shrimp through the breadcrumbs first, then dip them in the egg mixture, then finally dredge them through the coconut, making sure enough coconut sticks to them. Fry a few at a time about 2 minutes, depends on how hot your oil is, so they don't stick to one another, I did about 4 or 5 at a time, depending on the size of your shrimp. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
- Serve the shrimp along with the spicy mango sauce together.

BAKED COCONUT SHRIMP WITH SPICY MANGO SAUCE
In baking the shrimp instead of frying you save on loads of calories without sacrificing taste. Cornstarch helps the coating to adhere much better to the shrimp instead of flour. This recipe works best with extra-large shrimp, 15-20 to the pound. Do not butterfly the shrimp or they will come out tough.

Steps:
- For the mango dipping sauce: Add the mango, BBQ sauce, honey, lime juice and salt to a blender and blend until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl; set aside.
- For the shrimp: Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat to 350 degrees F.
- Combine the cornstarch, flour, salt and pepper in a bowl. Beat the eggs and 1/2 cup water in a second bowl. In a third bowl, combine the coconut flakes and breadcrumbs.
- Bread the shrimp by dipping them first in the flour mixture and shaking off any excess, then in the egg wash and finally in the coconut breadcrumbs, pressing to make sure each shrimp has an even coating.

- Arrange on a platter and serve immediately alongside the dipping sauce. Garnish with lime wedges.
Tips:
- For the best results, use large shrimp that are peeled and deveined. If you are using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
- To make the coconut coating, use a food processor to finely chop the coconut flakes. This will help the coating to adhere to the shrimp better.
- Be sure to coat the shrimp evenly with the coconut mixture. This will help them to brown evenly in the oven.
- Bake the shrimp at a high temperature (400 degrees Fahrenheit) for a short period of time (10-12 minutes). This will help them to cook quickly and evenly.
- While the shrimp are baking, make the spicy mango sauce. This sauce is easy to make and adds a delicious flavor to the shrimp.
- Serve the shrimp immediately with the spicy mango sauce. You can also garnish them with fresh cilantro or lime wedges.
