    I’ve been eating and loving this sauce at Red Lobster for over ten years and always ask for extra whenever I order the Coconut shrimp. Made this recipe tonight and it was RIGHT on the money. Added a bit more pineapple and just a little bit more cornstarch but otherwise it was perfect.

    I use to think or rather guess this was made with plain greek yogurt, crushed pineapple, and sweetened coconut flakes but was wrong wrong wrong.

    I made this sauce this weekend and my family loved it with their shrimp. This was a home run at my house!
