Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Place cornstarch in a small bowl. Beat egg whites and coconut extract in a second bowl with a fork until almost forming peaks. Mix bread crumbs, coconut, and sucralose in a third bowl.
Dredge shrimp, one at a time, in cornstarch, then in the egg mixture, and finally in the bread crumb mixture. Place the breaded shrimp on a plate; season with salt and pepper. Spray both sides of shrimp with cooking spray and place on a nonstick baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven, about 10 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time.
Meanwhile, combine canned pineapple, chili garlic sauce, and sucralose in a food processor or blender. Blend until completely smooth; season with salt and pepper. Serve shrimp with dipping sauce immediately after baking.
