Steps:

• Peel the shrimp and devein them under running water.
• In a medium bowl, combine all the remaining ingredients except the rice.
• Add the shrimp, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 5 hours (if it sits longer than this the lime juice will "cook' the shrimp).
• Using a slotted spoon, remove the shrimp from the marinade and thread on metal skewers.
• Prepare a fire in a charcoal grill.
• When the coals are medium hot, place the skewers on the cooking rack and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turn pink.

Steps:

• Mix ingredients in blender until smooth; pour into glasses; garnish with pineapple wedges and maraschino cherries if desired.
• Note: This recipe is my adaptation of "The Authentic Piña Colada" printed on back of the Coco Lopez Real Cream of Coconut® can, which is the same as this but uses all (3 ounces) regular rum only ~ It's a great drink but I just love the inclusion of part coconut rum to make it even better!

Steps:

• Prepare pina colada dipping sauce first by combining all the ingredients.
• Cover this and let it chill out in the fridge while you make the shrimp.

• Stir milk and rum into flour mixture.
• Let this batter stand for five minutes.
• While the batter rests, combine panko breadcrumbs and shredded coconut into a third medium bowl.
• Butterfly cut each shrimp before you start the battering: Use a sharp knife to slice through the top of the shrimp (where the vein was) so that you can spread the shrimp open.

• To batter the shrimp, dip each one in the flour, then the wet batter, then coat each shrimp with the panko/coconut mixture.
• Arrange the shrimp on a plate until all of them are battered.
• Fry the shrimp by dropping six at a time into the hot oil for 2 to 3 minutes or until the shrimp are golden brown.
