Ingredients

1 Tablespoon lime juice
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh jalapeno pepper
1/2 cup pineapple preserves
1 pound uncooked large shrimp peeled and deveined
2 egg whites
2 Tablespoons cornstarch
2 cups sweetened flaked coconut

Directions

1Combine lime juice, jalapeno pepper, and pineapple preserves in a small bowl and mix well. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
2Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
3In a small bowl beat egg whites with a hand mixer until soft peaks form.
4Place cornstarch and coconut on two separate plates. Hold shrimp by the tail and dip and coat the shrimp with cornstarch. Next, dip the shrimp in the egg whites and finally in the coconut coating well.

Oh. My. Gosh. This was amazing. Tastes just like Red Lobster's. I left out the jalapeno and it was perfection. Making this again soon!

Is it possible to print without the photos - nice photos, but ink is pricey! Recipe looks YUM! Thanks!

Hi Jay - Using aluminum foil will make the shrimp cook too quickly. The jalapeno will give the shrimp a spicy kick. If you are worried that your wife might not like that, try the coating without jalapeno. The lime, pineapple and coconut will still carry plenty of flavor.

Can alu foil be used instead of parchment paper? Does the jalapeno make the sauce hot or spicy? My wife doesn't like spicy (hot) foods.

Tilapia IS superb with this crust, I spread the sauce on top before serving to avoid dipping the fragile cooked fish... Looked beautiful and was very delicious!

If you're not feeling the shrimp, try a white fish- like tilapia!
