Ingredients

 
1 pound unpeeled, raw large white shrimp
 
1 to 2 egg whites
 
¼ cup cornstarch
 
1 tablespoon Jamaican jerk seasoning
 
2/3 cup sweetened flaked coconut
 
2/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
 
1 teaspoon paprika
 
cooking oil spray

Directions

Wash and peel 1 pound of shrimp, leaving the tails on, and set aside. In a small mixing bowl, beat or whisk 1 or 2 egg whites until frothy, and set aside. In a small, shallow dish, mix together ¼ cup cornstarch and 1 tablespoon Jamaican jerk seasoning, and set aside. In another small, shallow dish, mix together 2/3 cup flaked coconut, 2/3 cup panko breadcrumbs, and 1 teaspoon paprika, and set aside. Dredge shrimp, one at a time, in cornstarch mixture. Dip in egg whites, and dredge in coconut mixture. Place the shrimp on a broiler pan that has been sprayed with cooking oil spray. When all shrimp are placed on broiler pan, spray the top of the coated shrimp with cooking oil spray. Bake in a 425 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes. (I baked mine for 10 minutes, and then turned the oven off and let them sit in the oven for a couple of minutes.) Serve immediately, while hot. I served mine with Curried Rice and Steamed Snow Peas, both of which will be on videos uploaded later. Enjoy!!!
