Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (Panko recommended)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt)

  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  3. Set up a breading station: Mix flour with salt and pepper in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and combine shredded coconut, breadcrumbs, and paprika in the third bowl.
  4. Coat each shrimp by dipping it first in the flour mixture, then the eggs, followed by the coconut-breadcrumb mix.
  5. Arrange the breaded shrimp on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  6. For the sweet chili mayo, whisk together mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), sweet chili sauce, lime juice, and garlic powder until smooth.
  7. Serve the baked coconut shrimp hot with sweet chili mayo on the side.
