Air Fryer Coconut Shrimp

Step 1

Season the shrimp all over with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, remaining ½ teaspoon salt, and remaining ¼ teaspoon pepper. In a second shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs until well beaten. In a third shallow bowl, mix together the coconut and Panko.

Step 3

Dredge each piece of shrimp in the flour mixture, then the beaten egg, then the coconut mixture. Place on a plate or baking tray in a single layer

Step 4

Preheat the air fryer for 2 minutes at 375°F. Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the shrimp in the air fryer in a single layer, leaving a small amount of space in between each. (You’ll need to work in batches.) Spray the shrimp well with cooking spray.

Step 5

Air fryer for for 4 minutes. Flip the shrimp and spray well with cooking spray again. Continue to cook for 4 more minutes, until the shrimp are golden brown and curl into a C-shape.

Step 6

Season the shrimp with more salt to taste if desired. Serve with sweet chili sauce.
