Easy Coconut Shrimp

Do you like coconut shrimp?  I do!  This recipe is easy and it's not fried so it's healthier than a restaurant version.  I made this with fresh NC shrimp the other night for a beach meal and I'll definitely make it again.


Coconut Shrimp

1 cup coconut
1 pkt Shake 'N Bake Extra Crispy Coating Mix
1 tsp Old Bay Seafood Seasoning
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 lb extra large shrimp

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Combine coconut, Shake 'N Bake, and Old Bay in a shallow bowl.




Peel and clean shrimp.

Dip shrimp in egg, then roll in coconut
 mixture until evenly coated on all sides.

 (I used 1 1/2 lbs of shrimp and left a few plain for Reese.)



Yum!!  This recipe is a keeper!
