Grilled Coconut Shrimp with Pineapple Salsa image

Nice Tropical flavorful twist on grilled shrimp. Not too difficult to prepare and very tasty. Marinate overnight for best flavor (That is the reason the recipe says 8 hours prep time, meaning overnight)

I'm allergic to coconut, so I used panko breadcrumbs instead. The shrimp still turned out great!

This recipe is a great starting point, but I would recommend making a few adjustments to suit your own taste. For example, I added a bit of chopped cilantro to the salsa and it really brightened up the flavor.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my shrimp turned out a bit dry. The salsa was delicious though.
