Description

Delicious coconut shrimp served with a fresh mango dipping sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 large egg white, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup flaked sweetened coconut
  • 6 ounces medium raw shrimp, peeled, deveined, and patted dry (tails optional)
  • 1 fresh mango, diced
  • 1 small jalapeno, seeded and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 5 ounces plain Greek yogurt (roughly 3/4 cup)

Instructions

  1. Make the dipping sauce: Add the mango, jalapeno, lime juice, and honey into a blender and blend until smooth. The mango should be juicy enough to puree, but if not add a touch of water.
  2. Transfer mango mixture to a bowl and stir in the yogurt. Refrigerate while you make the shrimp.
  3. Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet or pan with foil for easy clean up then top with a wire rack. Lightly grease with cooking spray.
  4. In one shallow bowl, combine the cornstarch and salt. In a second bowl, add the egg white. In a third bowl, add the coconut.
  5. Working with one shrimp at a time, dredge in cornstarch mixture, then egg white, then coconut. Place on the wire rack.
  6. Bake 5 minutes then flip and bake another 5-10 minutes until coconut is toasted and shrimp are fully cooked (will depend on size of shrimp). Serve with dipping sauce.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, ensure shrimp is patted dry before dredging.
  • Adjust the heat by adding more or less jalapeno.
