Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming and crimping the edges as desired. Set aside.
Spread the shredded coconut evenly on a baking sheet, and toast in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Keep an eye on it, as it can burn quickly. Remove from the oven and let cool.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of coconut, brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and fully combined.
Add the toasted coconut and pecans to the filling mixture, stirring gently to ensure even distribution.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Place the pie on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the center slightly jiggles when the dish is gently shaken.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. The filling will continue to firm up as it cools.
Once cooled, slice the pie and serve as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
