Cocunut Shrimp with honey mustard dipping sauce

YeH-E-YEH COME ON that is right bring on the party!!!!!! Y'all know that song? Its from pitbull. Well that is what your guest will sing while They are watching the Superbowl!!!!!! We are getting a little tropical. Really think about it you have coconut thl did make this because I cool like that. But the sweetness of it and the coconut and the juicy shrimp ties it all together.So STORY TIME!!!!!!!!! I have been on a cruise a few times and one was to the Bahamas.en the shrimp. As far as the honey mustard dipping sauce goes I am not a BIG fan. But I  still It was so much fun and the boat was amazing! So many games.pools,food,hot tubs, shows, etc. It was so much fun! Well one day me and my family were eating lunch and there were like 1 buffets in this one room. Seriously there were like 300 rooms on this boat and like 200 on them were like resturaunts. Anyway so I was passing a shrimp bar and coconut shrimp came up. So I got some along with 3 fried shrimp and when I got back to my table I ate them and I almost fell out of my chair. It was incredibly good. So my mine just fell on that when I was looking for recipes Want to know a secret? Sure you do. So I was adding this recipe and on and I thought of honey mustard. Don't ask me why but I did. So I decided to add sauce. I know, I know I'm good. So I was like "oh that would be good let me add it" and here it is. Its good! By the way the sauce is super easy to make and so is the shrimp.Some people hear me say oh we are making our own honey mustard and they freak out. Don't ask me why. But they do.Really I'm not kidding. It is not that hard seriously people. This isn't the 1800s when people had to do everything from scratch. No, you buy all the ingredients and mix it together. The shrimp is as easy as cake and it taste as good as cake too because its super good. Hey not to change the subject but is anyone betting on the Superbowl? Like with a friend or family member who is gonna win? I'm just curious. I'm not, I don't gamble. This stuff is good y'all!!!
The sweet element of the mustard but then the mustard taste at the end is so good with the shrimp and the coconut gives a sweet but crunch kind of texture! It is dead good y'all. I'm loving it and when I love it you will too!!!!!!!!! OKay well I have to get ready for tomorrow because its a BIG day for me so bye and enjoy the Superbowl!
