In reply to Jamie Jacqueline. Yes you can. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes (or a few minutes longer for larger shrimp), flipping halfway through and spraying again with oil. The coating won’t turn golden super evenly like the fried. The key is to coat the shrimp with oil before you bake or air fry, so the coating will get crispy instead of dried out.

In reply to Anne. You can make it in the air fryer or bake in the oven. Generously spray the shrimp with oil. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes or air fry at 350°F (176°C) for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through and spraying again with oil. The coating won't turn golden super evenly like the fried. The key is to coat the shrimp with oil before you bake or air fry, so the coating will get crispy instead of dried out.

This sounds wonderful, but is there a way to prepare it that is not fried? Can it be made in an air fryer or an oven? I have an issue with fried foods. Thanks!

Can you cook shrimp in the oven?

In reply to Stephanie. Medium to medium large shrimps are the best. Just avoid the very small ones which dry out too fast.

What size shrimp would be best for this recipe?

In reply to Duane. Oh one more comment. I am always afraid or running out of the egg mixture before I run out of shrimp so I just dumped all the shrimp in and mixed them up til all coated. Then pulled them out one at a time to coat. Worked pretty well.

What a great recipe. Have tried various oven baked coconut shrimp with no success. These are great. I have to admit I only had unsweetened coconut and added some sugar to the coconut mixture. Still worked and less sweet. I’ll try the sweetened coconut flakes next time.
Thank you!
