- Spread the coconut and panko in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Toast for about 8 minutes, stirring every two minutes, until toasted. Remove from oven and raise oven temperature to 475 degrees.
- Transfer the coconut/panko mixture to a bowl and wipe out the baking sheet. Pour the 1/4 cup of oil onto the pan and brush all over the sheet in an even layer. Set aside.
- Set up your breading station. In one bowl, add 1/4 cup of flour, the paprika and salt. Whisk to combine.
- In a second bowl combine 1/2 cup of flour, egg whites, baking powder, garlic and beer. Whisk to combine.
- The third bowl should be your panko/coconut mixture.
- One at a time, holding the shrimp by the tail, dredge in the flour, shaking off excess. Next, dip in the beer batter. Last, place in the coconut mixture, covering the shrimp and gently pressing the coconut into both sides to help it stick. Place the coated shrimp on the oiled baking sheet. Repeat with all the shrimp until done.
- Bake shrimp in the 475 degree oven for 7-8 minutes, until they are bright pink and cooked through. Serve right away.

Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour (spoon & leveled)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 3/4 cup Panko bread crumbs
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 pound raw large shrimp, peeled and deveined with tails attached
- 3-4 Tablespoons vegetable oil or coconut oil*
- optional for topping: 1 Tablespoon finely chopped cilantro
- 3 Tablespoons Thai chili sauce
- 6 Tablespoons orange, peach, or apricot jam or preserves
How to cook:
- Start with 3 medium bowls. Combine flour, salt, and pepper in one. Beat the eggs in the second bowl. Combine Panko and coconut in the third bowl.
- Dip the shrimp into the flour, then the eggs, and then dredge the shrimp into the coconut mixture, pressing gently to adhere. You want a lot of coconut on each shrimp. Set the coated shrimp aside on a plate as you coat the remaining shrimp.
- Add enough oil to cover the bottom of a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the coconut shrimp in batches such as 7-8 shrimp at a time– do not crowd them in the pan. Flip after 2 minutes and fry the other side for 2 minutes or until golden brown. We prefer ours a little darker, so I fry each side for about 2:30-3 minutes.
- Place the finished coconut shrimp on a plate lined with a paper towel as you fry the rest. Sprinkle with finely chopped cilantro. Mix dipping sauce ingredients together and serve with shrimp.
- Cover and store leftover shrimp in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
