Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs (or 1 ½ cups if omitting the coconut)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (or substitute with ¼ cup garlic powder or Parmesan cheese)
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sriracha sauce (adjust for spiciness)
- 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 large eggs (beaten)
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly oil a rack or use cooking spray, then set it on a baking sheet and set aside.
- Combine panko breadcrumbs with shredded coconut (or garlic powder or Parmesan) in a bowl.
- Line the baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup. Spread the breadcrumb mixture evenly on the parchment and bake for about 4 minutes until golden brown.
- Return the toasted breadcrumb mixture to the bowl and mix in the kosher salt.
- Prepare the dipping sauce by combining mayonnaise, sriracha, and lime juice in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Set up your breading station: place flour on a plate and season with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, have the beaten eggs ready. On another plate, spread out the breadcrumb mixture.
- Dip each shrimp in the flour, shake off the excess, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat well with the breadcrumb mixture.
- Place a new sheet of parchment paper on the baking sheet. Arrange the breaded shrimp on the prepared rack.
- Increase the oven temperature to 425°F and bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the shrimp are crispy and golden brown.
- Serve the shrimp on a platter, garnished with fresh parsley, and enjoy with your preferred dipping sauce.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, increase the amount of sriracha in the dipping sauce.
- Feel free to substitute the shrimp with other seafood like scallops for variety.
