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. 1 Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. 2 In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and black pepper.
  3. 3 Place the beaten eggs in a second shallow bowl.
  4. 4 In a third shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and shredded coconut.
  5. 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. 6 Arrange the coated shrimp on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with vegetable oil.
  7. 7 Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the shrimp are golden brown and cooked through.
  8. 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. 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. 10 Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool slightly before serving.
  11. 11 Serve the crispy baked coconut shrimp with the pineapple dipping sauce on the side.
