Ingredients
1 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 bottle Hidden Valley® Farmhouse Originals Mango Chipotle Vinaigrette
1 cup coconut cream
6 oz sweetened shredded coconut
1 fresh pineapple, cut into cubes
1 mango, cut into cubes
Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Pat shrimp dry. Dip each shrimp in coconut cream, then coat with shredded coconut.
- Arrange coated shrimp on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and cooked through.
- Meanwhile, cut pineapple and mango into bite-sized cubes.
- Assemble bites by threading one piece of pineapple, one piece of mango, and one shrimp onto skewers or toothpicks.
- Drizzle lightly with mango chipotle vinaigrette or serve vinaigrette on the side as a dipping sauce.
Notes
For extra flavor, grill the shrimp instead of baking.
Sweet chili sauce can be used instead of mango chipotle vinaigrette.
Press shredded coconut firmly onto shrimp to help coating stick.
Assemble bites just before serving so fruit stays fresh.
For a lighter version, skip coconut coating and marinate shrimp in vinaigrette before cooking.
