Pina colada shrimp is a flavorful and refreshing dish that combines the sweet and tangy flavors of pineapple and coconut with the savory taste of shrimp. It's a perfect appetizer or main course for a summer party or a tropical-themed dinner. The shrimp is marinated in a mixture of pineapple juice, coconut cream, and spices, then grilled or sautéed until cooked through. The result is a juicy, tender shrimp with a delicious caramelized crust.

PINA COLADA SHRIMP
This is out of a cookbook called "Patio Daddy-O" 50's recipes with a 90's twist...If you plan to serve this with rice, try cooking the grains in coconut milk instead of water...I can see using my George Foreman grill or any outside grill to cook the shrimp...cooking time does not include marinating time...hope you enjoy!

RED LOBSTER PARROT BAY COCONUT SHRIMP
The best part is the pina colada dipping sauce. And it's true, that sauce is so good you could eat it with a spoon. But the coconut shrimp is pretty awesome too, even on its own. Red Lobster's secret formula includes Captain Morgan's Parrot Bay rum, which sweetens up the batter as well as adding a great coconut flavor
