Serves
15

Serves - 15 (2 shrimp each)
Points - 2

1 lb. large shrimp (about 30 per lb), peeled and deveined
1/3 c. cornstarch
1/2 tsp. seasoned salt
1/2 tsp. cayenne
1 1/4 c. sweetened shredded coconut
1/4 c. Panko bread crumbs *
3 egg whites
2-3 drops coconut extract

Methods/steps

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil and spray with nonstick spray.
Rinse the shrimp under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels.
Combine cornstarch, seasoned salt and cayenne in a small, shallow bowl. Mix the coconut and bread crumbs in another small bowl.
With an electric mixer, beat the egg whites and coconut extract on medium speed until frothy, about 2 min.
Dip a shrimp into the cornstarch mixture, shaking off excess, then dip into the egg mixture to coat on all sides. Dredge in the coconut mixture, pressing with your fingers to help adhere.
Place on baking sheet and repeat with remaining shrimp. Spray shrimp with nonstick spray. Bake, turning once and spraying again with nonstick spray, until the shrimp are cooked through and the coating is lightly browned, about 15-20 minutes.

Additional Tips

*Panko bread crumbs are Japanese style bread crumbs found in the Asian section of most supermarkets. If you can't find them, substitute with crushed cornflake crumbs.

These were awesome! I made the marmalade dipping sauce to go with it using the sugar free orange marmalade. Thanks for this recipe and all the others I have tried and will continue to try!
