Yields3 Servings
Prep Time30 minsCook Time12 minsTotal Time42 mins

Shrimp ingredients:
 1 lb wild caught shrimp
 3 tbsp arrowroot starch (also called arrowroot flour- similar to cornstarch!)
 1 egg, beaten
 1 tbsp olive oil (drizzling)
FreshJax Coconut Seasoning Blend:
 7 tbsp FreshJax Red Coconut Curry seasoning
 3 tbsp FreshJax Yellow Coconut Curry seasoning
Alternate Seasoning Blend:
 9 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut
 1 ½ tbsp ancho chili powder (or chili powder)
 ½ tbsp turmeric
 ½ tsp sea salt
 ½ tsp ginger
 ¼ tsp black pepper

1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper. (This makes it crispy and less clean up!)

2

Set up workstation. The "breading process" works best with 2 medium plates and a medium bowl. Leave the first plate empty for the cleaned shrimp. Beat 1 egg in the bowl. Combine your coconut & spices on the third plate and set aside.

3

Peel and de-vein shrimp. Place on the first plate.
Sprinkle arrowroot and toss to coat well. (The arrowroot will soak in and become less visible. You have enough when they feel smooth and only mildly damp.)

4

Dip coated shrimp into egg (one at a time) and place onto coconut seasoning. Coat well, pushing to adhere the coconut to each side of the shrimp.
Place onto prepared baking sheet. Drizzle lightly with olive oil (for browning).

5

Bake for 10 minutes, flip over and bake for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from oven and serve immediately!
