How To Make baked coconut shrimp with tropical rice

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and set a wire rack on top; coat with cooking spray.
  • 2
    Combine 1 cup water, the coconut water, rice and lime zest in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low; cover and simmer 8 minutes. Remove from heat; add the carrots, red onion (or scallions), 1/4 tsp. salt and a few grinds of pepper (do not stir). Cover and let sit 10 minutes, then fluff with a fork to combine. Discard the lime zest.

    Meanwhile season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Beat the egg and 2 tbsp. water in a bowl. Combine the coconut and panko in another bowl. Dip the shrimp in the egg mixture, then the coconut/panko mixture, gently pressing to adhere. Transfer to the prepared rack and bake until the shrimp are cooked through, about 10 minutes.
