Baked Coconut Shrimp (by Snappy Shop)
I made this last September, but it seems like a good appetizer to bring to a BBQ this 4th of July weekend. So I’m reblogging it.
Baked Coconut Shrimp with Apricot Sesame Dipping Sauce
This is really easy! and, since it’s baked, it’s good for you. Hooray! My favorite combo, delicious and good for me!
Pre-heat oven to 400.
In a shallow bowl combine 1 cup unsweetened, flaked coconutwith a bit of salt and pepper.
In another shallow bowl, scramble 2 eggs with a pinch of garlic powder and a pinch of smoked paprika.
Put 1/2 cup rice flour in a 3rd bowl.
Dredge some peeled & de-veined shrimp in the rice flour, dip in the egg wash, and then coat with the flaked coconut.
Bake at 400 for 10 to 15 minutes till cooked through. Serve with Apricot Sesame dipping sauce.
For the Apricot Sesame Dipping Sauce:
Combine 2 tablespoons apricot jelly, the zest and juice of 1 lime, 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1/4 tsp grated ginger, freshly grated black pepper, 1/8 tsp red chili flakes, 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar, and 1 tablespoon sesame oil.
Enjoy!

Those people who go out of their way just to make somebody’s day or just to have them simply smile, who put their problems aside to tend to others’ problems, who try their best to be in an upbeat or positive mood in hopes that it’ll be contagious, who’s outlook on life is still positive after what they’ve been through, who are just all around inspiring people, thank you for existing.
