Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup Chef's Cupboard Panko Breadcrumbs
  • 3/4 cup Baker's Corner Coconut Flakes sweetened or unsweetened
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pound Fremont Fish Market Jumbo EZ Peel Raw Shrimp thawed, tails removed
  • 1 cup Specially Selected Jasmine Rice uncooked
  • 10-ounce bag Simply Nature Sweet Peas
  • 1 lemon juice and zest
  • 1 clove garlic grated
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2–3 tablespoons honey
  • 1–2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Spread the panko breadcrumbs and coconut flakes evenly on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Remove and set aside, then increase the oven temperature to 425°F.
  • In a pressure cooker or on the stovetop, cook the jasmine rice according to the package instructions.
  • Set up three bowls: one for the flour, salt, and paprika; one for the beaten eggs; and one for the toasted panko and coconut mixture.
  • Dredge each shrimp in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg, and finally press into the toasted coconut mixture to coat evenly.
  • Arrange the coated shrimp on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spritz or drizzle lightly with oil for extra crispiness.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 10 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink, firm, and the coating is crisp.
  • Meanwhile, fluff the cooked rice with a fork and mix in the sweet peas, lemon juice, lemon zest, grated garlic, and 2 tablespoons of butter.
  • In a small bowl, whisk melted butter with honey and Dijon mustard to create the sauce. Feel free to add a pinch of chili flakes for heat.
  • Serve the shrimp with a generous portion of the rice and drizzle with the prepared honey butter sauce.
