  3. Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: flour mixture with salt and pepper, beaten eggs, and a mixture of shredded coconut and breadcrumbs with paprika.
  4. Dip each shrimp in the flour, then the eggs, and finally coat them in the coconut-breadcrumb mixture.
  5. Place the breaded shrimp on the baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  6. Meanwhile, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, lime juice, and garlic powder in a bowl to make the Sweet Chili Mayo.
