Delicious crunchy coconut shrimp with a beautiful pineapple dipping sauce. Mmm

Hallie's Coconut Shrimp with Pineapple Sauce

My friend Hallie was talking about her coconut shrimp the other day, and it sounded so good I had to try it!

Next, dip the shrimp and press coconut on both sides. Put on a cookie sheet, and bake till the coconut is crunchy and slightly browned...
