I have some Jumbo Prawns in my freezer that have been waiting to cook into something and I think this is it. I need to get the apricot preserves-or Trader Joes makes a really good "Apricot Sauce" that comes from France. I might use that instead!

This one makes my mouth water when I think of the flavor combination of the coconut, the sweetness of the shrimp and then some apricot sauce.

I have some Trader Joe's Apricot Sauce from France i believe, and I will substitute that for your sauce here...because I already have it on hand.
