The minute I saw this recipe in Clean Eating Magazine, I knew I wanted to make it soon! My mouth was watering just checking out the pictures and it looked like a fresh idea to our meal rotation that wasn’t too complicated. Perfect for a quiet night in after a long holiday weekend!
Which means I made it Monday night. I did skimp on the homemade dip though and just picked one up at the store.
I was a huge fan of this recipe before I even put it into the oven. Three bowls, four ingredients, and it all reminded me of a fun art project.
Don’t these guys look tasty? The whole time, I kept thinking about what else can I dip into coconut/panko and bake?
I would suggest baking them slightly longer than suggested to get your shrimp EXTRA crispy!
In less than 20 minutes, dinner was served!
And it was a really good dinner!
We will definitely be making these again soon and adding them to our meal planning rotation!
I am a huge fan of a quick, easy, healthy, and satisfying dinner!
And I think that you will enjoy this recipe too!
Baked Coconut Shrimp
Ingredients
Olive oil cooking spray
2/3 cup whole wheat flour
2 large eggs
6 tbsp panko bread crumbs
1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
24 shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and mist with cooking spray. Place 3 wide, shallow bowls on work surface. To first bowl, add flour; to second bowl, add eggs and beat lightly; to third bowl, add panko, coconut, salt, and pepper and stir to combine.
Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. Holding 1 shrimp by the tail, dip in flour, shaking off excess. Quickly dip in egg, then in coconut mixture, coating thoroughly. Place on baking sheet and repeat with remaining shrimp. Bake for 11 minutes (or longer if needed), turning once, until shrimp are firm to the touch and browned.
Luv What You Do 
Oh my goodness- yum! I so need to get that soy ginger sauce:)
It is really gingery which the BOY loved! I picked it up at Whole Foods. They have the BEST stuff!
I so want to jump through the screen and eat these right this minute!! I am making these when I get back from Vegas!!
They will be perfect after you have been traveling because they are so low maitence. I am so jealous of your race this weekend. I will be sitting in class but would much rather be running! Have fun!
I can’t wait to make these!! mmmmm!
I’m not a big fan of coconut but these (and German chocolate cake) I love. Great recipe!
I’m not a huge fan of coconut either (which the BOY pointed out when he was surprised by my dinner choice). I think coconut ‘fried’ anything is good and I don’t mind those samoa girl scout cookies : ) Thanks for the comment. Have a great weekend!
What a fun and gourmet looking meal! 🙂
You are so right…this was totally gourmet yet so simple. Can you tell it was my favorite recipe of the week?! I even had leftovers for lunch!
This looks so good! I LOVE shrimp with a capital L. Coconut shrimp is always one of my favorite things to order at restaurants.
Hooray! Now you can have it at home!
Mmmm…delicious! I occassionally still buy seafood for myself at home, so this may have to be on my menu next time I buy some!
Yes, this is definitely worthwhile for your next shrimp purchase!
It looks so fancy even though it’s simple- love those types of recipes! And I wish my guy ate seasfood/shrimp because I would totally make that for him
I don’t know what I would do if he didn’t! We might starve…especially since I don’t eat red meat : )
