WHOLE30 COCONUT-CRUSTED SHRIMP WITH PINEAPPLE-CHILI SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler and line a baking sheet with a wire rack. Thread 3 shrimp onto each of seven 6-inch skewers and set aside.
• Combine the coconut, lime zest, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a shallow bowl. Brush the shrimp with the egg whites, then press into the coconut mixture until completely coated.

Steps:

• Prepare the Coconut Shrimp: Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread coconut on an ungreased baking sheet. Toast in the oven for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown, stirring frequently to ensure even cooking. Transfer coconut to a pie plate; cool.
• Turn oven temperature up to 425°F. Grease the same baking sheet. Place flour in a small bowl. In another small bowl, whisk egg whites with water until foamy. Stir panko into the coconut in the pie plate. In a large bowl, toss shrimp with soy sauce and pepper.
• One at a time, hold shrimp by tail and coat with flour, shaking off excess; then dip in egg white mixture. Finally, roll in coconut mixture to coat well.
• Place shrimp on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until shrimp are opaque throughout and coating is crisp.
• Meanwhile, prepare the Pineapple Herb Dipping Sauce: Drain pineapple, reserving 1/4 cup juice. In a food processor, pulse pineapple, reserved pineapple juice, herbs, and lime juice until blended.
