directions
1. If using fresh shrimp, rinse, drain, and pat dry. If using frozen shrimp, thaw by rinsing in cold water for 1 minute. Leave in colander to drain for 10 minutes; then pat dry.
2. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with vegetable cooking spray.
3. Combine coconut, bread crumbs, flour, cayenne, and 1/8 tsp. each salt and pepper in a wide bowl.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk egg whites just until frothy bubbles appear.
5. Season shrimp with remaining 1/8 tsp. each salt and pepper. Holding each shrimp by the tail, dip in egg whites, gently shake off any excess liquid, and then coat in the coconut mixture. Place shrimp on prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray with vegetable cooking spray.
6. Bake until shrimp are golden and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
7. While shrimp bake, prepare sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together chili sauce, jam, and mustard. Transfer shrimp to a platter and serve with sauce on the side.
