Crunchy coconut shrimp with lime

1. In a shallow pan, mix the bread crumbs, shredded coconut, salt and chili pepper until ingredients are well incorporated.

2. Use a mixer to whip the egg whites into a soft meringue.

3. Dip shrimp into the egg mixture and then into the bread crumb mixture to coat. For best results, you should check if the shrimp is evenly coated with the egg before dipping into the bread crumb mixture.

4. Heat coconut oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Oil should be hot but not smoking. (After being breaded, the shrimp can hold several minutes while oil comes to temperature.)

5. Place shrimp into the skillet without crowding. Cook for approximately two minutes on each side or until the breading is golden and crispy.

6. Dress shrimp with a light squeeze of fresh lime juice and serve immediately.
