Need Recipe for Coconut Prawns and dipping sauce

[esgunn]

Hi all. I am gymnastics and my mom called me needing the recipe for the Coconut Prawns and the red pepper dipping sauce. It should be in the members plus archives. It is a few years old. I am thinking maybe the same issue as the meatballs? Or maybe the schnitzel. Not sure exactly. The prawns are breaded in a mixture of unsweetened coconut and panko.

Any help would be appreciated!
Thx.
