This was a real treat. It reminded me of delicious passed appetizer I had at a wedding reception a few years ago. The spicy sauce (not too hot) combines wonderfully with the slightly sweet coconut shrimp. Could be served equally well as an appetizer or entree.

    These were really excellent. I'm not a huge fan of most mango salsas, so I had to keep tasting it to believe it was so good. Even if you don't like most mango salsas, you should give this a try. Nancy made a less spicy version for our kids...but they defaulted to dipping in soy sauce anyway. ;-(
    I've cooked/tasted this recipe!
