Servings: 6
Prep Time: 20 min
Cook Time: 10 min
Difficulty: Moderate
1/2 cup orange marmalade fruit spread (Smucker’s Simply Fruit)
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon curry powder
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
6 tablespoons plain panko bread crumbs
1/2 cup flaked unsweetened coconut
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 large egg whites
1 pound large shrimp, peeled (tails left on), deveined, butterflied, and patted dry (21 – 25 count)
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
To make the dipping sauce, combine the marmalade, vinegar, curry powder, and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is heated through, 1 – 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; set aside.
To make the shrimp, combine the panko, coconut, and flour on a sheet of wax paper. Beat the egg whites in a medium bowl until slightly frothy. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Lift each shrimp from the egg whites, letting the excess dip off the shrimp, then coat in the crumb mixture, pressing to adhere. Place the shrimp on the baking sheet in a single layer. Lightly spray with nonstick spray. Bake until the shrimp are golden on the outside and opaque in the center, 8 – 10 minutes. Serve with the sauce.

I made these a couple of weeks ago and they were very, very good. Be sure to buy the large shrimp.

I so enjoy watching your mom and you working so close together, My daughter likes to take my recipes and tweak them too.Some of mine were passed down from my great grandmother so I have done my fair share of tweaking my 100+ old recipes.
Food service, cooking, entertaining has always been my favorite thing to do.
Keep them coming. Best wishes.
