Prep Ahead for your Coconut Shrimp
Make the Coconut mixture: In a medium bowl or gallon plastic bag, mix the shredded coconut, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Store covered in the fridge until ready to cook.
Make the Sriracha Mayonnaise in a small bowl by adding the mayonnaise, Sriracha, and Ketchup. Whisk together until blended. Store covered in the fridge.
Cook your Coconut Shrimp
Preheat oven to 400 F degrees.
Rinse the cleaned shrimp and pat dry with paper towel. Beat the 3 eggs together in a medium bowl.
Dip each shrimp in the egg and then dredge in the coconut mixture. Then lay on an oiled sheet pan so that none of the shrimp are touching.
Bake for 10 minutes. Flip the shrimp over and bake for another 5 minutes.
