Oven-Baked Coconut Shrimp (Low-Fat) image

There is almost no fat in this recipe, please make certain to generously grease your baking pan, I use the non-stick foil for this --- This complete recipe can be doubled to about 52-53 shrimp, enough to feed a crowd! If your coconut flakes are very large, then just chop them slightly, they will stick to the egg whites better. Cooking time is estimated depending on size of your shrimp --- serve the shrimp with pineapple or a fruit salsa --- your going to love this shrimp! ;-)

I'm not a huge fan of coconut but I really enjoyed this recipe. The coconut flavor is subtle and it doesn't overpower the shrimp.
