Grilled Coconut Shrimp with Pineapple Salsa image

Nice Tropical flavorful twist on grilled shrimp. Not too difficult to prepare and very tasty. Marinate overnight for best flavor (That is the reason the recipe says 8 hours prep time, meaning overnight)

I'm allergic to coconut so I used panko breadcrumbs instead. It worked great!

I didn't have any pineapple salsa on hand so I used mango salsa instead. It was still delicious!

I used jumbo shrimp for this recipe and they were perfect. They cooked quickly and evenly.
