Coconut shrimp
 

I'm sure this is purloined from somewhere, like our staple Cooking Light, but I've made some substitutions which I haven't tried yet, which I think might improve the recipe. If you make this and it fails miserably, let me know. Serve with mango-tomatillo salsa.

Ingredients

25-30 large shrimp
1/3 c. cornstarch
1/2 t. cayenne pepper
1 t. salt
1 1/2 c. flaked sweetened coconut
1 can coconut milk
1 t. chopped jalapeno
lime
