Mmmmm! I love this recipe because it's baked & not fried. I'm trying to stay away from frying as much as I can.

Combine first 4 ingredients in pie plate; set aside. Beat egg & water in seperate pie plate with whisk until well blended.
Step 3

Dip shrimp, 1 at a time, in egg, then coconut mixture, turning to completely coat both sides of each shrimp with egg before coating with coconut mixuture; place on baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray (this is the most time consuming & messy - but oh so worth it!).
