In the meantime mix 1 tablespoon of cold water with corn starch. Once sauce begins to boil drizzle in corn starch mixture and mix vigorously. When the sauce thickens, turn off the heat and set aside to cool. Set aside.

- Season shrimp with salt and place in bowl with flour. Pat excess flour off and place in egg mixture. Once evenly coated place in coconut mix, making sure each shrimp is properly pressed and has a good amount of coconut and breading adhering to it.
- Place shrimp on Cookina Cuisine sheet and place in broiler. Cook about 2-3 minutes on each side until coconut is browned. Serve with sweet and sour sauce.
