Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the chopped macadamia nuts, shredded coconut, and panko breadcrumbs. Mix well to create a uniform breading mixture.
Step 3
In another bowl, add the coconut milk.
Step 4
Season the shrimp with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper.

Dip each shrimp into the coconut milk, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, coat the shrimp in the macadamia nut mixture, ensuring they are well covered.
Step 6
Place the coated shrimp on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this process for all shrimp.
Step 7
Once all the shrimp are breaded and placed on the baking sheet, lightly drizzle them with melted coconut oil or spray with cooking spray to ensure a crispy finish.
Step 8
Bake the shrimp in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and the shrimp are cooked through.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the shrimp cool slightly before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm, optionally garnished with lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
