Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 lb large shrimp peeled and deveined
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper freshly ground
2 large eggs beaten
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 cup shredded coconut unsweetened
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Pineapple Dipping Sauce

1 cup pineapple juice fresh or canned
1 tbsp soy sauce low sodium
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp cornstarch dissolved in 1 tbsp water
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

Instructions

1 Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2 In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and black pepper.
3 Place the beaten eggs in a second shallow bowl.
4 In a third shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and shredded coconut.
5 Dip each shrimp into the flour mixture, shaking off any excess, then into the eggs, and finally into the coconut-panko mixture, pressing to adhere.
6 Arrange the coated shrimp on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with vegetable oil.
7 Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the shrimp are golden brown and cooked through.
8 While the shrimp are baking, prepare the pineapple dipping sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the pineapple juice, soy sauce, and honey.
9 Bring the mixture to a simmer, then add the cornstarch mixture and red pepper flakes, stirring until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
10 Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool slightly before serving.
11 Serve the crispy baked coconut shrimp with the pineapple dipping sauce on the side.
