Ingredients
- 3 egg whites
- 2 tbsp powdered Stevia
- 6 tbsp dried unsweetened coconut flakes
- 24 shrimp small shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tbsp corn starch
- 4 tbsp marmalade, reduced sugar
- ½ tsp red chili sauce
Directions

Total:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Whip egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- In a separate bowl, add Stevia to unsweetened coconut flakes and mix well.
- One at a time, coat shrimp in cornstarch, then coat in whipped egg whites. The more volume the better.
- Coat the shrimp in coconut flakes, and place on parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 10-15 minutes, turning over after about 7 minutes. Because there is no flour on the shrimp, they will not turn golden brown like a typical breaded shrimp. When they are done, the coconut will be toasted and the tail will be pink. The egg white, if exposed, will still be white.
- While the shrimp are in the oven, mix marmalade with Sriracha. More chili sauce will give it more heat. Add a little water to thin out the dipping sauce. The entire amount of dipping sauce is only 40 calories, so dip to your heart's content!
