This was a great and fun seafood dish! I loved the tropical flavor of the cocnut and lime - terrific! I cooked mine in a hot skillet with a little cooking spray. I agree with you about the salt mix; I didn't use all of it either and still felt it was a little much. Next time I'll probably leave out the salt and add a few drops of hot sauce to the marinade mixture. Enjoyed this very much - thanks for sharing!
