Crispy Coconut-Crusted Baked Shrimp
Enjoy a tropical twist on a classic seafood favorite with these crispy coconut-crusted baked shrimp. Juicy shrimp are delicately coated in a savory, lightly spiced shredded coconut crust and baked to perfection. This dish brings a satisfying crunch with every bite, paired with a subtle kick of paprika and a hint of lime to brighten the flavors.
INGREDIENTS
6 ounces peeled & deveined shrimp
1 large egg
1 ounce unsweetened shredded coconut
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt & pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg with the lime juice, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Place the unsweetened shredded coconut in another shallow dish.
Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel. Dip each shrimp first into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then press into the shredded coconut until well-coated.
Arrange the coconut-coated shrimp on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Optionally, lightly spray with cooking oil for an extra crisp finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and the coconut coating is lightly toasted.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately, garnished with an extra squeeze of lime if desired.
