Baked Coconut Shrimp w/ Veggies on the side

-1 pound med-large uncooked shrimp (deveined and peeled)
 -2 egg whites beaten
-1/3 cup cornstarch
-1/2 tsp cumin
-1/2 tsp garlic powder
-1/2 tsp paprika
-pepper to taste
-2 cups flaked coconut (sweetened)

1. In a small bowl beat egg whites with a hand mixer until soft peaks form.
2. Place cornstarch (and spices) and coconut on two separate plates. Hold shrimp by the tail and dip and coat the shrimp with cornstarch. Next, dip the shrimp in the egg whites and finally in the coconut coating well.
3. Place shrimp on the cookie sheet w/ parchment paper and bake for 15-17 minutes or until coconut is a golden brown. Make sure to turn it once halfway through (around 8 minutes into cooking time) to make sure both sides brown.

I served this with pineapple/mango salsa on the side, sooooo good!
