In a small saucepan, combine the crushed pineapple (including juice) and sweetened shredded coconut.
Cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture is warm and slightly thickened.
In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the water to make a slurry.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens further. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, pina colada mix, and powdered sugar.
Fold the slightly cooled pineapple and coconut mixture into the sour cream mixture until well blended.
Chill the dipping sauce in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Serve cold alongside coconut shrimp or your favorite seafood appetizer. Enjoy!
