Default So much coconut!

After learning to eviscerate a coconut to make a pretty damned good coconut chiffon with coconut cream cheese frosting for the chef I'm pretty stumped as to what to do with the rest of the coconut. I have a couple handfuls of fresh coconut meat and about half a can of coconut cream left. Anybody have a good simple and savoury recipe to recommend? I'm thinking maybe a good Indian or Thai curry or a coconut crusted fish/shrimp but any other creative and tasty ideas would be appreciated.

Mix some banana ketchup with some Thai red curry paste, use it to marinate some shrimp, grill and serve with a Indian spiced toasted coconut sauce.

Coconut and banana bread pudding. Curries are always nice.
