Coconut Shrimp

I love love love coconut shrimp. But, the deep fried version isn't so healthy. I found this recipe and we both really liked it. Make or buy a good sweet dipping sauce to dip them in!

Coconut Shrimp

12 oz. large shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 c. panko bread crumbs

1/2 c. sweetened coconut

1 t. salt

1/2 t. pepper

1/2 c. flour

2 eggs, beaten

Sweet Asian chili sauce or any sweet sauce

Preheat oven to 450. Combine panko, coconut, salt & pepper on a plate. Place flour on a separate plate, and the egg in a shallow bowl. Coat the shrimp in the flour, then egg, then the bread crumb/coconut mixture pressing so they are completely covered.

Place breaded shrimp on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake 10 minutes, until shrimp are firm and cooked through and the coating is golden brown. Serve with sweet dipping sauce.
