Steps:

• Please note - pour out the coconut cream into a bowl and mix together. It separates and there's a solid portion and a liquid portion. You can microwave it for 30 seconds so they mix together more easily.
• In a small bowl whisk 2 tablespoons cream of coconut, sugar and sour cream until well combined.
• Stir in the crushed pineapple. Whisk in the lime juice, Malibu Rum and pineapple juice to thin it out a little.
• Refrigerate until ready to serve. You can make this in advance as well.

• Working with a few of the corn starch coated shrimp at a time, dunk them into the coconut cream, let the excess drip off then coat them with the coconut-panko mixture (adding more to the bowl as needed) patting it on with your hands to help it stick.
• Place them on the baking sheet. Continue until they're all coated.
• Repeat with the remaining cornstarch and shrimp until they're all coated.
