One of my favorite recipes is Coconut Shrimp. I actually make them so often, that I had to started trying out new sides and dipping sauces to serve with them to keep from getting bored. We often use sweet chili sauce, but I really wanted to turn my recipe forSpicy Mango Chutney into a Sweet Mango Dip that the whole family could enjoy.

Obviously, it pairs great with coconut, steamed or fried shrimp, but you can also use it as a dip for chicken or even on spoon it over ice cream, cheesecake, or even swirl some in oatmeal with a little coconut for a tropical vibe.
