2 T. rice vinegar

2 T. honey

1 t. grated fresh ginger

Coconut Rice

1 lb. large raw, tail on shrimp, peeled and de-veined

1/3 C. honey

2 t. soy sauce

2 t. hot chili oil

2 C. flaked coconut

For the sauce:

Puree mango, vinegar, honey and ginger in a blender or food processor; set aside. 

For the shrimp:

 Preheat oven to 400°F and spray a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. 

Rinse shrimp and pat very dry between paper towels. 

In a medium bowl stir together honey, soy sauce and chili oil. Dip shrimp in mixture then roll in coconut, pressing so that it sticks to the shrimp; place on baking sheet and sprinkle with some of the excess coconut. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes or until shrimp is firm and coconut is golden brown. Carefully remove from baking sheet with a spatula to a platter. 

Serve mango sauce on the side for dipping.
