Pina Colada Sauce (for Coconut Shrimp)
Pina Colada Sauce
Tropical Paradise on a Plate
This scrumptious shrimp sauce is absolutely irresistible. It is sweet and tangy with the flavors of pineapple and coconut blended together. It is like a non-alcoholic pina colada in a dipping bowl. Pair this sauce with coconut shrimp (see my recipe) and you transport yourself to a tropical paradise the moment it hits your mouth. This sauce along with the shrimp is an absolute culinary delight.
