For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the mango slices alongside the shrimp. If you don't have macadamia nuts, cashews or almonds make a great substitute. To toast the coconut, spread it on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown, watching carefully to prevent burning.
