  5. Dip into the egg mixture. Make sure to let any excess egg drip off the shrimp. Lightly coat the shrimp in the bread crumb coconut mixture.
  6. Place the shrimp onto the prepared baking sheet, in a single layer. Make sure the shrimp are not touching.
  7. Lightly spray the shrimp with a non stick cooking spray.
  8. Bake the shrimp for about 10 minutes. You want them to be golden brown. Serve with prepared sweet chili sauce or with homemade apricot dipping sauce.
