03 - 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
04 - 2 large eggs, beaten
05 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

02 - Dredge each shrimp first in the seasoned flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat thoroughly with the coconut and panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
03 - Arrange the coated shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15–20 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the shrimp are crisp and golden brown.
04 - In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, lime juice, and garlic powder. Stir until fully blended and creamy.
05 - Transfer the baked coconut shrimp to a serving plate. Serve immediately with the sweet chili mayo on the side for dipping.

# Extra Tips:

01 - For extra crunch, broil the shrimp for 1–2 minutes at the end of baking.
