Baked Coconut Shrimp

Made these shrimp Sunday afternoon for an appetizer,mmmmmmmmm sooo good! Cut the recipe in half, worked out fine. the flavour is very good, we like cumin and garlic is always good, I used fine unsweetened coconut because that's what I had, maybe not as crisp but very very good, thanks for sharing chia. -- posted Dec 16, 2002, UPDATE: Made these tonight(Dec 24/04) as part of Christmas eve dinner, they really are wonderfull, did them this time exactly as the recipe said, soo delicious with the flaked coconut and panco. We did 12 prawns and 6 big oysters, the oysters were as good as the prawns, nice and moist, much better than deep fried. This dish was the star of Christmas eve dinner!!thanks again for posting it !! -- posted Dec 24, 2004, 2 members found this helpful Dec 24,2005, Me Again, this is our favourite seafood coat, and here we are again on Christmas eve, it has become a tradition for us, this year I did Oysters, jumbo prawns and scallops, Yummy!!!

Quick and easy recipe! After I placed the shrimp on the baking sheet, I flipped them over and coated with the rest of the coconut-panko mixture just to make sure I was thorough (I always have a hard time getting coconut to "stick"). Some of the reviews recommended grinding the c-nut first to help it stick better. The shrimp/mixture burned slightly around the edges, but that could just be my oven or timing, and I'll watch that the next time I make them. Overall, it's a keeper! :)

Very good shrimp! The only thing I changed was the amount of coconut (I think I used a little over a cup). I served it with an orange marmalade dipping sauce (Everyone raved about the sauce) which consisted of 1/4 cup Orange Marmalade (30 seconds in the micro), 1/3 cup of honey and 4 Tablespoons of Stone Ground Mustard and mix together. Thanks for the great recipe!

These were good, but a little bland and very dry. This was a very easy recipe to make, though!

this is so very very good and easy too. I mixed some orange marmalade with some dijon mustard and heated it through for a dipping sauce....worked great together.

These are great, Chia, Thanks! They are easy, healthy, and awesome! I really love coconut shrimp but they are usually fried (I guess), this was super. I made them exactly like the recipe, but didn't bake them as long (actually 1/2 the time) and they were perfect. The combination of cumin spice and garlic, with the sort of sweet coconut was to die for. Wish I had made more, but there's always the next time. Thanks again

Made these for breakfast....yum. Forgot to butterfly the shrimp and they would have been better. Only had to bake 6-8 minutes and did not have to turn for size 31-40 tail on shrimp. Next time I would bake at 425F for 10-12 minutes so the coconut just browns and does not have little black pieces. More heat would be good. I put a dab of mango jam mixed with lemon juice on top of each and it was the perfect compliment.

Love these shrimp! I made them tonight for my parent's wedding anniversary dinner. We all enjoyed them very much. The only problem I had was the extra coconut and breadcrumb mixture burning on the pan (it was so bad, my smoke detector went off). Next time I might try them on a lower heat for an extra minute or two, to see if that helps. We ate them with cocktail sauce and it tasted fabulous! Thanks for sharing

We really enjoyed this one. Served with warmed up pepper jelly.

VERY very good. Maybe not as flavor packed as I had hoped....but I served it with melted hot pepper jelly and that did the trick! I increased the garlic to 4 cloves and followed the rest as stated. YUM!

Ya mon, these were some yummy shrimp. My five star rating is coming from a few places. Firstly, and probably most importantly, I normally hate coconut. It is a texture thing rather than a taste thing and I have had the problem with it since I was a kid. Yet, I have always heard coconut shrimp was good. So, I decided to give this a go and I ended up really enjoying the recipe. I used Panko and there was enough going on in the mixture that the texture I normally don't like from coconut wasn't a problem at all. In fact, I even ate the coating that fell off and got extra crispy as they baked. Then, I loved the low fat nature of this. I can't have very fatty foods and that is another reason I often stay away from coconut. However, with this being baked and using just the egg whites I was able to indulge a bit. The only difference I made to the recipe was to serve it with lime wedges and spritz the shrimp with lime juice just before eating. That was really good! Made for Chow Hounds on ZWT5.

Thanks to PAC08 I chose to try this recipe. Loved this recipe. You can make this up in no time at all. So much better for you than frying. Looking forward to making this dish again. I chose to make Piña Colada Dipping Sauce to go with this nice dish. Will be making again.

I made this recipe last weekend and I was so happy with the results! I only tried it because the shrimp was baked, not fried. I followed the recipe pretty much exactly and they turned out perfect. Even the cold leftovers were yummy - not greasy and icky! It's just me so I ate them all weekend. I'll try them for company next.

I made this for a party one night and didn't even get to try ANY because they were gone in less than 30 minutes. Several people asked for the recipe and liked the fact it was baked and not fried. The only thing I had a problem with was getting the breadcrumb mixture to stick to the shrimp? Anyone else have any problems?

I made these for DH and I as part of our Hawaiian-Themed Dinner night. Superb! I actually had reduced-fat coconut flakes which worked wonderfully. Unsure of what kind of sauce to serve these with, I went with a basic pineapple-flavored mix and liked it. I also think they would work with regular cocktail sauce. Thanks!
