Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F

- Add the almond meal to a bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper
- Place the eggs in a second bowl
- Place the shredded unsweetened coconut in a third bowl
- Assembly line time. Line the bowls up in order: almond meal, egg whites, and coconut.
- Dredge each shrimp in almond meal, dip in eggs, and then coat in coconut
- Place on wire rack
- Repeat for all of your shrimp
- Bake for 10 minutes on each side
- Combine the mango, lime juice, jalapeño, and coconut milk in a blender, and blend until smooth
- Remove shrimp from oven and serve with mango sauce!
