3. Place a cup of flour, coconut flakes and beaten eggs in a separate shallow bowl. Work with one shrimp at a time, dredge it in the flour, then dip it in the egg, and roll it in the coconut. Make sure to coat the shrimp well. Place on the coated baking sheet with olive oil, and repeat with the remaining shrimp.
