  2. Toast the Coconut: In a small pan over medium heat, lightly toast the shredded coconut for 2–3 minutes until golden brown. Stir often to avoid burning.
  3. Arrange the Grapefruit: Lay the slices neatly on a serving plate.
  4. Add Coconut: Sprinkle the toasted coconut evenly over the grapefruit.
  5. Optional Touch: Drizzle with honey for extra sweetness and garnish with fresh mint leaves for a cooling finish.
