Ingredients

Mango Salsa

  • 1 lime, zested and juiced
  • 2 mangos, peeled and chopped
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped

Coconut Shrimp

  • 12 ounces fresh or frozen large shrimp, with tails, thawed, peeled and deveined
  • Sea salt to taste
  • 1 cup flaked coconut
  • Garnish: lime wedges (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Prepare a cookie sheet by spraying with a nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Place lime juice, 1 cup chopped mango, honey, and cayenne pepper in a blender and process until smooth. Pour ¼ cup mango mixture into a small bowl, top with lime zest and small amount of chopped cilantro, cover and store in refrigerator.
  3. Prepare shrimp by washing, patting dry then sprinkling with a small amount of sea salt.
  4. Place coconut on a large plate. Dip shrimp first into the remaining mango salsa then into coconut, pressing so it adheres to the outside of shrimp. Place on the prepared cookie sheet.
  5. Bake in oven for 8-10 minutes or until shrimp are fully cooked and nicely browned.
  6. Serve hot with reserved mango salsa and top with remaining chopped mango and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
