Air Fryer Coconut Shrimp JOHN SMITH May 30, 2022 Air fryer shrimp are so quick and easy to make and they are just as good, if not better, than one of your favorite restaurant appetizers. Made in the air fryer, these healthier fried coconut shrimp are made with just a handful of ingredients and without the need for a lot of oil. 55 MINUTES 2 SERVINGS Ingredients 1 pound, shell off, tail on shrimp 1/4 cup all purpose flour 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 2 eggs 3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs cooking spray sweet chili sauce or pepper jelly sauce for serving Directions Preheat air fryer to 360 degrees. When heated spray the basket with cooking spray. Combine flour, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Then combine the shredded coconut and panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl. Dip the shrimp into the flour mixture, shaking of the excess. Then dredge the shrimp into the eggs, and then finally into the coconut panko mixture. Press gently so it will stick. Place the coated shrimp in the air fryer so they are not touching, and spray the top of the shrimp with cooking spray. Cook for 5 minutes, then flip shrimp and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
