Sometime You Feel Like Coconut February 1, 2011

Each Weight Watchers meeting we are given a booklet that has some helpful hints that pertain to the topic of discussion. For example, this week’s meeting was about being more active, so the booklet was about walking plans. They also contain some glorious recipes!

I give you Coconut Shrimp!!!

The recipe is ridiculously easy. It doesn’t take long, and the result it delectable!

The Recipe:

• 8 small shrimp, shelled and deveined
• 1/2 cup flour
• 2 splashes of skim milk
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup coconut
• 1/4 cup panko crumbs

1. Preheat the oven to 450*
2. Mix 1tbsp of flour, salt and milk together.
3. Drag shrimp through the remaining flour, shaking off any excess.
4. Dip the shrimp into the milk batter.
5. Mix the coconut and panko crumbs together. Press the shrimp into the mixture.
6. Spray a baking sheet with cooking oil.
7. Place the shrimp on the baking sheet. Lightly spray the shrimp with cooking spray.
8. Bake for 12 minutes until the shrimp is pink on the inside.

I decided to serve this with spinach and pepper pasta. Not a particularly conventional pairing, but it hit the spot.
