  "ingredients": [
    "1.5 pounds raw large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on",
    "1/2 cup all-purpose flour",
    "1/2 teaspoon salt",
    "2 eggs",
    "1 cup sweetened shredded coconut",
    "1 cup panko breadcrumbs",
    "2 tablespoons vegetable oil",
    "1/2 cup orange marmalade",
    "1 lime, juiced",
    "1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes"
  ],
  "directions": [
    "Heat the oven to 425°F. Brush the sheet pan (or a rack set on it) with 1 tablespoon of the oil.",
    "Set up 3 shallow dishes: flour mixed with the salt; eggs beaten until smooth; coconut mixed with panko.",
    "Pat the shrimp dry. Holding the tail, coat each shrimp in flour, then egg, then the coconut mixture, pressing to help it stick. Lay in a single layer on the pan.",
    "Drizzle or brush the tops with the remaining oil. Wash your hands and throw away leftover breading.",
    "Bake 5 to 6 minutes, flip, and bake 4 to 6 minutes more until the coating is golden and the shrimp are opaque and firm, or 145°F.",
    "While the shrimp bake, scrub and juice the lime, then stir the marmalade, lime juice, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl.",
    "Serve the shrimp hot with the dipping sauce.",
    "Chill leftovers within 2 hours (1 hour if the room is above 90°F)."
