This recipe is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I always have a bag of frozen shrimp in my freezer, so this is a quick and easy meal to make.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time I'll use less chili pepper.

I'm not a fan of pineapple, so I omitted it from the salsa. It was still delicious!

I'm allergic to coconut, so I substituted almond flour. It turned out great!
