In a dry skillet, over medium/high heat, cook the coconut until lightly browned, stirring frequently, 4-5 minutes.
Then in a large skillet, cast iron if you have one, over high heat, add in the oil, when very hot, add in the shrimp and cook about 2 minutes, just until they turn pink, then remove from the skillet.
Now, in the same skillet, saute the garlic, scallions and the red chili, just for a few seconds. Turn the heat to medium and add in the cognac, butter, sugar and salt.
Add the shrimp back to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes.
