Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened coconut flakes
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
- Cooking spray
- 0.25 cup Low-sugar dipping sauce (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and lightly spray with cooking spray.
Prepare a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with the flour, one with the beaten egg, and one with a mixture of coconut flakes, panko breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper.
Rinse and pat the shrimp dry with paper towels.
Coat each shrimp first in the flour, then dip it into the beaten egg, and finally press it into the coconut and panko mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Place the breaded shrimp onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching.
Lightly spray the tops of the shrimp with cooking spray to help them crisp up during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, flipping the shrimp halfway through, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Serve immediately with a side of low-sugar dipping sauce, if desired. Enjoy!
