Whenever we go on a road trip up the California coast, we make it a point to stop at our favorite Malibu restaurant featuring coconut shrimp. It’s been a while since we’ve stopped by so I decided to satisfy my coconut shrimp craving and prepare it at home. The preparation is very simple and quick. Bits of golden, unsweetened coconut flakes and panko crumbs give each shrimp piece that perfect bite when dipped into this spicy honey-mango sauce. Enjoy!
