step 1

Make the salsa: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Sweet Onion (1/2), Habanero Pepper (1), Garlic (1 clove), Lime (1), and Kosher Salt (1 tsp). Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then mix in the Mangoes (2), Tomato (1), and Fresh Cilantro (2 Tbsp). Chill until ready to serve.

Season the Shrimp (2 lb) with Kosher Salt (1 tsp) and Ancho Chili Powder (1 tsp).

In a large mixing bowl whisk together the Sweetened Shredded Coconut (1 cup), Panko Breadcrumbs (1/2 cup), and Kosher Salt (1 tsp)
