Baked Shrimp in Coconut Flakes
Description
Great for a holiday or for everyday. The combination of pineapple, coconut, and shrimp is quite unusual, but incredibly amazing!

For the breading, by the way, you can also add hot pepper for those who like a bit of spice, or stick with spices and herbs for aroma. The process is simple and fairly quick, so it's definitely worth adding to your collection. Serve with greens and sauce.
