Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Prepare the dredging stations. In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour in one, the beaten eggs in another, and the shredded coconut mixed with panko, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in the third.
  • Dredge the shrimp. One at a time, dredge each shrimp in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip it in the beaten egg, letting the excess drip off. Finally, coat it thoroughly in the coconut mixture, pressing gently to help it adhere.
  • Arrange the shrimp on the baking sheet. Place the coated shrimp on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not touching.
  • Bake the shrimp. Spray the shrimp lightly with cooking spray. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through and the coconut coating is golden brown.
  • Serve immediately. Serve your delicious Chinese coconut shrimp immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
