I didn't use sweetened coconut. I never buy that kind even when using for a cake topping. The sauce I made to dip them in was semi-sweet though. I forgot to post a picture of that.
I was never crazy about the idea myself, but some friends had it down by the beach one evening. So I got curious. Mainly because it was so brown in color when coconut is white. I thought I'd see how that could happen and it didn't taste the good when I tried some. But this actually tasted very good and went well with the rice cooked in Thai coconut milk with some lime zest and cilantro. I was surprised at how good the shrimp tasted. I'd definitely make this one again.
