Baked Coconut Shrimp

Mmmmm. Baked coconut shrimp with a honey mango sauce. My family (including myself) enjoyed this greatly this weekend. So much so, that I had to set a separate plate aside for everybody to dig into while I got to shootin' with the camera. 

You know, that's one thing that I really do love about my family. They love food just as much as me! They're always giving me so much positive feedback for my recipes and it just gives me pure joy to see their faces as they dig into one of my homemade meals.

I feel as if I'm going to be posting a lot of mango based recipes in the near future  - first the ice cream and now this yummy honey mango sauce. It's just something about this time of the year that makes me crave all things tropical so the coconut crusted shrimp paired with this mango sauce was like a party in my mouth!

Although the weather was kinda nasty this weekend, I actually thought it was the perfect opportunity to whip up something more exotic. Hey, I'm sure if we had all just closed our eyes as we ate the shrimp, we could imagine ourselves on the beach somewhere and not in the middle of a thunderstorm in Texas 🙂
