Baked Coconut Shrimp

Here's a great way to get tasty food in a healthy way! I was craving fish tacos (future post, I'm sure) but settled for coconut shrimp tonight. And I baked it to avoid all the grease that comes with frying. It actually tasted better than fried. Served with it, a mango salsa. On the side, roasted broccoli and a green salad. YUM.
