Best 5 Shake N Bake Coconut Shrimp Recipes

COCONUT SHRIMP

Steps:

• Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
• OPTIONAL: To butterfly shrimp, insert a knife about three-quarters of the way into the shrimp at the top. Cut a slit down the centre of the shrimp's back to the tail. Use your fingertip to open the flesh of the shrimp slightly. They don't need to be flat. Season with salt and pepper, set aside.
• In one shallow bowl, add 1/2 cup flour for dredging. In another shallow bowl, whisk the batter ingredients together until combined. The batter should resemble pancake consistency. If too thick, add a little extra beer or mineral water, whisking between each addition. In the third bowl, mix together the shredded coconut and bread crumbs.
• Dredge in the flour (shake off excess), dip in the batter (shake off excess) and coat in the breadcrumb/coconut mixture. Lightly press the coconut onto the shrimp.
• Place onto prepared baking sheet and repeat with remaining shrimp. Arrange shrimp in a single layer and freeze until firm (about 30-45 minutes).
• In a dutch oven or deep skillet, heat vegetable oil (about 2-3 inches deep in the pot) until nice and hot.
• Fry the FROZEN shrimp in batches for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Drain them on a paper towel lined plate.
• Serve immediately with sweet chili sauce.

BAKED COCONUT SHRIMP

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Rinse and dry shrimp with paper towels. Mix cornstarch, salt, and cayenne pepper in a shallow bow; pour coconut flakes in a separate shallow bowl. Working with one shrimp at a time, dredge it in the cornstarch mixture, then dip it in the egg white, and roll it in the coconut, making sure to coat the shrimp well. Place on the prepared baking sheet, and repeat with the remaining shrimp.
• Bake the shrimp until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center and the coconut is browned, 15 to 20 minutes, flipping the shrimp halfway through.

• BAKE 10 to 12 minute or until shrimp are done.

SPICY SHAKE 'N' BAKE SHRIMP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• In a bowl, thoroughly mix all the dry ingredients.
• Drop the shrimp into a paper bag filled with the crumbs/flour/spice mixture.

• Combine the butter and mustard and drizzle the mixture over the shrimp.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until the shrimp are just cooked – do not overcook.

SHAKE AND BAKE COCONUT SHRIMP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread coconut in shallow baking pan. Toast coconut for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, till browned. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn.
• Increase oven temperature to 400°F. Toss coconut with Shake 'N Bake, curry powder and ground red pepper in pie plate. Beat egg in separate pie plate.
• Dip shrimp into egg, then into coating mixture, pressing shrimp into coating mixture to evenly coat both sides. Place on lightly greased baking sheet. If there is any extra batter that did not stick to the shrimp, just spoon it over the top of the shrimp and it will probably stick as it bakes.
• Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until shrimp are cooked through. Serve with dips as desired.
