Skinny Coconut Shrimp

i know that it has been a while since i have posted and i have a lot of recipes backed up so i will get back on track with posting! well the weather has been great out here lately so we have been grilling a lot recently. i had my family over yesterday for a barbecue and i thought i would give this recipe a try!

Skinny Coconut Shrimp
from http://www.skinnytaste.com/2011/12/skinny-coconut-shrimp.html

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined ( i buy them already peeled and deveined and i must say this is such a time saver and sooo much cleaner)
1/2 cup + 1 tbsp shredded sweetened coconut
1/2 cup + 1 tbsp panko crumbs
2 tbsp all purpose flour
1 large egg
cooking spray

Preheat oven to 425°. Spray a non-stick baking sheet with cooking spray.

Combine coconut flakes and panko crumbs in a bowl. Place the flour in a small dish. Whisk egg in another bowl.

Dip the shrimp in the flour, shaking off excess, then into the egg, then in the coconut crumb mixture.

Lay shrimp on the cookie sheet then spray the top of the shrimp with more cooking spray; bake in the middle rack for about 10 minutes. Turn shrimp over then cook another 6-7 minutes or until cooked though. Remove from oven and serve with dipping sauce. (I used sweet chili sauce but i would like to try something else next time)
