To make the sauce: blend the rum, coconut milk, and pineapple until it is the consistency of apple sauce, pour into a bowl and mix in the coconut flakes and the diced cherries. Serve in a dish made for dipping and organize the shrimp around the dish in a pile. add whole cherries as an edible garnish that will be tasty with the sauce.
