Ingredients
Breading:
16-24 fresh or defrosted shrimp (peeled and de-veined)
⅓ cup Gluten-Free Prairie Toasted Oat Flour
⅓ cup gluten-free potato flour
6 tablespoons gluten-free breadcrumbs
2 eggs, beaten
½ cup shredded unsweetened coconut
Sea salt and pepper, to taste
Sauce:
½ cup peach or mango preserves (or substitute apricot or peach jam)
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Instructions
Preheat oven to 375.
Prepare a large rimmed baking sheet with heavy-duty foil, and spray with cooking spray.
Prepare shrimp, dry with paper towels, and set aside.
Blend gluten-free flours in a medium bowl.
In another bowl combine coconut, gluten-free bread crumbs, salt, and pepper.
One by one, dredge shrimp in flour mixture and quickly dip into beaten eggs and finally into the coconut mixture.
Place on baking sheet.
Bake at 375 for approx. 12 minutes, until the coconut browns (ovens will vary).
While the shrimp is baking, prepare the sauce.
In a medium saucepan, mix preserves with lime juice.
Mix well and heat gently, stirring constantly. Do not boil.
Remove shrimp from oven and serve with sauce on top or on the side.
