Travelers from Asia, the South Pacific and the Portugal added their own flavors to the native foods of Hawaii to create a unique blend of tastes, including soy sauce, ginger, tropical fruits, and unexpected flavors.

Ingredients: Directions: 1. Blend garlic powder with flour. In a separate bowl, beat eggs with coconut milk. 2. Preheat grill to medium high heat. 3. Dredge shrimp in flour mixture and shake off excess flour. Next, dip shrimp in egg mixture and then coconut and lay on a sheet pan. 4. Grill shrimp until they are golden brown and serve immediately. Be careful that the coconut does not burn. Serve these Hawaiian appetizers hot with a spicy dipping sauce, like sriacha. The islands of Hawaii can inspire great food with simple preparation. If you do not have a grill, don't despair! You can also broil most meats and other Hawaiian appetizer recipes in a hot oven instead.
