Baked Coconut Shrimp image

This crunchy coconut shrimp is baked instead of fried, and so easy! Great for dinner or as an appetizer. I serve with orange marmalade for dipping.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
⅓ cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 cups flaked sweetened coconut
3 egg whites, beaten until foamy

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.

I followed the recipe exactly and the shrimp turned out overcooked and dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These shrimp were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not usually a fan of coconut shrimp, but this recipe changed my mind. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the coconut coating was flavorful without being overpowering.

This baked coconut shrimp recipe was a hit at my last dinner party! The shrimp were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the coconut-lime dipping sauce was the perfect complement.
