Another dish you could try is Coconut Shrimp. Just deep fry some shrimp in a batter to which you've added some shredded coconut. A good dipping sauce would be crushed pineapple with a couple of good dollops of a West Indian Scotch Bonnet pepper sauce, like Matouk's or Mabel's or Hak Has. To soak up the heat, serve some fried plantains and rice, and plenty of Red Stripe.
