Baked Coconut Shrimp With Spicy Mango Sauce image

In baking the shrimp instead of frying you save on loads of calories without sacrificing taste. Cornstarch helps the coating to adhere much better to the shrimp instead of flour. This recipe works best with extra-large shrimp, 15-20 to the pound. Do not butterfly the shrimp or they will come out tough.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less chili pepper next time.
