by

Great appetizer recipes can make or break your party or family get together. So, don’t just put out chips and dip this time. Do something to “wow” your guests and make something that will have them coming back for more. It’s not a party unless everyone leaves feeling full.

This wonderful recipe from the Two Old Crabs and takes appetizer recipes to a whole new level of deliciousness, and if you love shrimp, you are in luck.  Dipped in a mango sauce, the shrimp are then covered in coconut and baked until they are golden brown. It’s sweet tropical flavor is mouthwatering. Although it is an appetizer, you’re going to want to make these your full meal. Enjoy!
