Oven-Baked Coconut Shrimp (Low-Fat) image

There is almost no fat in this recipe, please make certain to generously grease your baking pan, I use the non-stick foil for this --- This complete recipe can be doubled to about 52-53 shrimp, enough to feed a crowd! If your coconut flakes are very large, then just chop them slightly, they will stick to the egg whites better. Cooking time is estimated depending on size of your shrimp --- serve the shrimp with pineapple or a fruit salsa --- your going to love this shrimp! ;-)

These shrimp were a bit too spicy for my taste, but otherwise they were delicious.

I've tried many coconut shrimp recipes, but this one is by far the best. The shrimp are always crispy and juicy, and the coconut coating is perfectly golden brown.

Not bad, but not great either. The shrimp were a bit dry, and the coconut coating was a bit too sweet for my taste.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The shrimp were overcooked and the coconut coating was bland.

I've made this recipe several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The shrimp are always crispy and flavorful, and the coconut coating is to die for.

These shrimp were a little too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more coconut milk next time.

These coconut shrimp were a hit at my dinner party! They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a delicious coconut flavor. I served them with a sweet and sour sauce, and they were gone in minutes.
