Easy Baked Coconut Shrimp
These Easy Baked or Air Fryer Coconut Shrimp are crisp, golden and delicious served a sweet and spicy apricot dipping sauce. Set these out on a platter in front of some hungry guests and I guarantee they will disappear!!
“The best coconut shrimp I ever had” to quote my husband, that’s how good these are, and he didn’t even touch the dipping sauce! These shrimp are perfect for the Holidays, Superbowl or anytime you need an tasty appetizer. This baked coconut shrimp is healthier than fried, and super easy to make. The shrimp is crisp and crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside thanks to the mixture of panko breadcrumbs and shredded coconut which I used to coat the shrimp. Lay them on a baking sheet and spritz them with oil. I tried these using all egg whites but the crumbs stuck better with a whole egg, as for the flour, you will only use about 1 tablespoon worth so that is what I calculated. You can use gluten-free panko to make them gluten-free. If you try them, let me know what you think!
