Baked Coconut Shrimp Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Rinse and dry shrimp with paper towels. Mix cornstarch, salt, and cayenne pepper in a shallow bow; pour coconut flakes in a separate shallow bowl. Working with one shrimp at a time, dredge it in the cornstarch mixture, then dip it in the egg white, and roll it in the coconut, making sure to coat the shrimp well. Place on the prepared baking sheet, and repeat with the remaining shrimp.
• Bake the shrimp until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center and the coconut is browned, 15 to 20 minutes, flipping the shrimp halfway through.

Steps:

• For the shrimp: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the broiler. Set a wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet and spray the rack with oil.
• Pat the shrimp dry.
• Place the flour and salt in a bowl and whisk together. Place the eggs in another bowl, and the coconut in a third bowl.
• Working in batches, lightly coat the shrimp in the flour and gently tap to remove the excess; dip in the egg and then roll in the coconut to coat. Place the coconut shrimp on the prepared wire rack.
• When all the shrimp are on the rack, lightly spray them with oil. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and broil the shrimp on the center rack until crispy and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce: Place all of the ingredients in a small bowl and stir until combined.
• Serve the coconut shrimp with the dipping sauce on the side.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500°F.
• Spray a baking sheet with olive oil spray.
• Beat egg whites in bowl.
• In a small plastic bag, mix panko, cumin, coconut, garlic, and pepper.
• Dip shrimp in egg whites, then shake in plastic bag to coat.
• Lay shrimp on baking sheet and bake about 6 minutes per side until golden brown.

Steps:

• Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
• In a shallow dish combine the cornstarch with salt and red pepper; stir to combine.
• Place the egg whites in a medium bowl; beat using an electric mixer on high speed until frothy (about 2 minutes).
• Place the coconut in a shallow dish.
• Working one shrimp at a time dredge the shrimp firstly in the cornstarch mixture, then dip in egg whites and then in shredded coconut.
• Place the shrimp on a foil-lined baking sheet that has been generously coated with cooking spray.
• Repeat with remaining shrimp (cornstarch, then egg white and then in coconut).
• Lightly spray the shrimp with cooking spray.
• Bake for about 20 minutes or until the shrimp are done, turn the shrimp after 10 minutes of cooking making that 10 minutes per side.
