Ingredients
Coconut Shrimp
- 1 pound Shrimp peeled and deveined, large
- ⅓ cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 cups sweetened coconut flakes
- 3 egg white
Garlic Plum Dipping Sauce
- 7 ounces plum sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 green onion finely chopped (green and white parts)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and coat generously with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Take the shrimp out of the package and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
- Set up a dredge station. In a shallow bowl, mix the cornstarch, salt, and garlic powder. In another shallow bowl, beat the egg whites until they're foamy. In a third shallow bowl, spread out the coconut flakes.
- Dip one shrimp first into the cornstarch until coated. Then dip into the egg whites, and finally dip in the coconut until well-coated. Repeat with the remaining shrimp.
- Place the shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving room between them so that they don't touch.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the coating is golden brown. Remove from the oven.
