Ingredients

  • shrimp
  • all-purpose flour
  • salt
  • black pepper
  • paprika
  • eggs
  • panko breadcrumbs
  • shredded coconut
  • mayonnaise
  • sweet chili sauce
  • lime juice
  • garlic powder

Instructions

  • Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures the shrimp get that perfect golden brown finish when baking.
  • Pat the shrimp completely dry with paper towels. This step is crucial because it helps the breading stick better during the cooking process.
  • Prepare three shallow bowls: one with flour mixed with salt, pepper, and paprika; the second with beaten eggs; the last with a blend of Panko and shredded coconut. Having everything ready will streamline your process.
  • Dredge each shrimp in the flour mixture, dip it into the egg, then coat it well with the coconut-Panko mixture. Make sure to press the coating on so it sticks nicely.
  • Place the coated shrimp on a lined baking sheet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding them to ensure they cook evenly.
  • Bake until golden brown and crispy, making sure to flip them halfway through for even cooking. Enjoy the amazing aroma while they cook!
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, lime juice, and garlic powder. This sauce adds a delicious dipping option for the shrimp.
  • Once the shrimp are baked, serve them immediately while warm with the sweet chili mayo on the side. It makes for an exciting presentation!
