Coconut Shrimp with Sweet Chili Sauce

I had a coupon for Frank's Red Hot Sweet Chili Sauce, so I decided to pick up a bottle and use it for dipping these awesome coconut shrimp.


These were great. Fresh gulf shrimp were out of season, so I ended up using American farm-raised shrimp instead. This is similar to the coconut shrimp we made a while back, except for the dipping sauce.
