Sweet Shrimp with Pineapple Sauce

Ingredients

• 1-1/2 Cup Pineapple Juice


• 1 Cup Sugar


• 2TB Flour


• 2 eggs beaten


• 1/2 tsp. Salt


• Juice of 1 lemon


• Zest from 1 lemon


• Coconut Flakes


• Maraschino Cherries


• 1 Pound Cooked Shrimp

Combine pineapple juice, sugar, flour eggs and salt in sauce pan. Whisk together and cook over medium-low heat stirring frequently. Continue stirring until flour is completely cooked and sauce thickens. Remove from heat, add lemon juice and lemon zest.  Allow to completely cool.

After pineapple sauce has cooled, add shrimp and gently stir until evenly coated. Pour into serving dish. Garnish with coconut and maraschino cherries. Cover and chill until ready to serve.

Tip: I like to add ice in sealed bags in the bottom of the serving dish to help keep the shrimp chilled without adding extra liquid.

Before adding shrimp to serving dish, place a bag of ice in the bottom of hte dish to keep shrimp cool.
