COCONUT LIME SHRIMP W/ MANGO JALAPENO DIPPING SAUCE
I was looking for recipes to use up the jalapeños I'm growing, plus the mangoes, shrimp, and limes that I had on hand. I found this one, hope you enjoy it as much as we did. We did fry them, but they can also be baked in a 475°F oven and still come out crispy.
