My daughter has always been my inspiration behind me learning to cook several dishes; She is a lover of shrimp, and I wanted to open up her palate a bit, so I decided to jazz up her meals to excite her. This dish was a definite hit and is one of her favorites.
Go ahead and try it. I’m sure you’ll love it.

- 1/3 cup of flour (whole wheat if desired)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 3/4 cup bread crumbs (Italian bread crumbs can be used as well)

Instructions:
- Grab 3 medium bowls.
- Combine flour, salt and pepper in one bowl
- Beat the eggs in the second bowl
- Combine breadcrumbs and coconut in the third bowl
- Dip the shrimp into the flour, then in eggs and thirdly into coconut mix pressing gently to ensure the coconut coating sticks
