Baked Coconut Shrimp
Baked Coconut Shrimp | Perfectly juicy on the inside with just the right amount of coconut on the outside to lend a nice crunchy shrimp. Now I can be at ease when eating my favorite shrimp. Unlike the deep fried version this one is baked and trust me when I say you won’t miss the grease!
I usually serve this for dinner but this Baked Coconut Shrimp makes the perfect appetizer for hungry game watchers or a dinner party. When you serve your guests this shrimp they will know this is going to be a great party!
