Ingredients:

Serving

2 cups mangoes, coarsely chopped
1 tbsp lime juice
1/2 tsp scotch bonnet pepper, minced
2 tsp crisco canola oil
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground pepper
1/2 cup red onions or 1/2 cup green onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 tsp jerk seasoning or 1 tsp cajun seasoning
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1 1/2 cups crushed unsweetened shredded wheat
crisco all-vegetable shortening
3/4 cup shredded coconut
1 lb large shrimp, peeled with shell tail attached

Directions:

FOR THE DIP: Place all the ingredients, except red onion into a food processor and pulse until almost smooth. Mix in red onion, place in a small serving bowl and set aside.
FOR THE SHRIMP: Melt enough shortening to equal 2-inches in a deep frying pan, Heat to 350°F.
In a shallow bowl, combine flour, cornstarch and jerk seasoning.
Pour coconut milk into a second bowl.
In a third bowl, or shallow plate, combine the crushed shredded wheat and flaked coconut.
Lay out cooling racks and place waxed paper underneath them to catch drippings.
Working in assembly-line fashion, hold each shrimp by the tail, coat with the flour mixture dip in the coconut milk and coat with the crushed wheat/coconut mixture. Place shrimp on a rack and repeat process until all shrimp are coated.
Fry 8 or 10 shrimp at a time, for 1-2 minutes or until golden and crispy. Bring oil back to 350F before frying next batch.
As each batch finishes, drain shrimp on a paper towel, before transferring to a serving platter.
Serve hot or warm.
TIPS: Shrimp may be prepared in advance and frozen for up to 2 weeks. To serve, defrost slightly and recrisp in a 375F oven.
