- 28 large raw shrimp (about 1 1/2 pounds), deveined and peeled
- 1/3 cup cornstarch
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
- 3 large egg whites
- 1 1/2 cups flaked sweetened coconut
- cooking spray
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup Mango Ginger Habanero Sauce
*Preheat oven to 400°. To prepare shrimp, rinse in cold water; drain on paper towels until dry. Combine cornstarch, salt, and red pepper in a shallow dish; stir with a whisk. Place the egg whites in a medium bowl, and beat with a mixer at medium-high speed until frothy (about 2 minutes). Place coconut in a shallow dish. Working with one shrimp at a time, dredge in cornstarch mixture. Dip in egg white; dredge in coconut, pressing gently with fingers. Place shrimp on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Repeat the procedure with remaining shrimp, cornstarch mixture, egg white, and coconut. Lightly coat shrimp with cooking spray. Bake at 400° for 20 minutes or until shrimp are done, turning after 10 minutes. Serve with Mango Ginger Habanero Sauce spooned over each shrimp. Serves 4-6.
*If you prefer to grill these shrimp, place on pre-heated grill (medium-high) and grill 10 minutes per side, or until shrimp turns pink and coconut is lightly toasted.
