The cornflake-coconut coating gives this dish a crunchy texture the whole family will love. For a sweet complement, serve the shrimp with mango chutney or apricot preserves. If you can’t find cornflake crumbs, you can make your own by placing regular cornflakes in a zip-close plastic bag and finely crushing them with a rolling pin. Spray the knife with nonstick spray to keep the coconut from sticking as you chop.
