What Are The Best Shrimp For This Recipe?

Medium and large shrimp are best for making this coconut shrimp recipe. Their interior will stay tender and buttery while their exterior crisps up in the oven. Avoid small shrimp because they will over-cook and dry out by the time they’re done baking.

Make the sauce

Prep the oven. Make the sauce by boiling the rice vinegar and water in a small pot. Add the other sauce ingredients. Whisk in the arrowroot until completely dissolved. Continue to simmer until the sauce thickens. Set it aside to cool.

Set up the stations

Mix the coconut, panko, and paprika in a large bowl. Add the egg whites to another bowl.

Prep them

Coat the shrimp in egg whites, then coconut mixture until completely coated. Transfer to the baking sheet.

Bake

Pop the tray into the oven until slightly golden brown. Remove them from the heat and let cool.

Serve and Enjoy!

Pour the chili sauce into small bowls. Serve the shrimp with sauce on the side. Enjoy!
