    Oh my! These crunchy  panko crusted baked coconut  shrimp are to die for! I mean stop in your tracks, lick your fingers, don’t even come near my plate G.O.O.D!

    These golden crunchy coconut shrimp  are baked not fried. That means healthier and lower in calories and fat! Served over a bed of jasmine rice and topped with sweet mango and green onions. Only a few minutes prep time and 10 min. cook time makes this an easy and flavorful any day of the week meal option.

    I’ve never been much of a “leftovers” girl…I guess I just like the idea of something different to eat everyday. Don’t get me wrong, I do “leftovers” in the interest of time and not wanting to waste food, and sure some things Curried Chickpea & Kale Soup or Crockpot BBQ Chicken actually taste better on day two or three.

    Rarely do I get too excited about “leftovers” but Coconut Mango Shrimp is a whole different story.!I was CRAVING this !  Like all day anticipating coming home from work to LEFTOVERS! Say What? I was also wondering why I didn’t take this to work for lunch so I didn’t have to wait so long to dive into more crunchy baked coconut shrimp deliciousness.

    In fairness I do have a strong affinity for baked coconut shrimp ( see Baked Coconut Shrimp with Raspberry Chile Sauce as evidence). The flavor and texture  combination of crunchy panko, shredded coconut, a hint of chili powder and cayenne ( Even if you are not much into spice, dial it back but don't skip the chili powder and cayenne...it adds SO much to the flavor)  along side sweet juicy mango, jasmine rice, green onions and cilantro...is just insanely good!

    ** I didn't want to waste any of the leftover panko/coconut mixture (used to coat shrimp) so I tossed it in a skillet and cooked it for a few minutes until it was toasty brown..topped the shrimp/rice with some additional crunchiness.
