An easy, healthier take on fried shrimp using the air fryer. The coconut-and-panko crust crisps up beautifully and pairs perfectly with sweet chili dipping sauce.

Method

Directions

  1. 1
    Mix flour and seasonings together in a bowl.
  2. 2
    In a second bowl, mix the coconut flake and panko.
  3. 3
    In a third small bowl, beat the eggs.
  4. 4
    Peel the shrimp, leaving the tails attached. Lightly rinse with cold water.
  5. 5
    Holding each shrimp by the tail, dredge in the flour and shake off the excess. Dip in the egg, then dredge in the coconut-panko mixture, pressing to adhere.
  6. 6
    Place shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer (likely two batches). Spray with cooking spray on both sides.
  7. 7
    Air fry at 400℉ for 8 minutes, flipping at 4 minutes. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
  8. 8
    Serve with sweet & sour sauce or your favorite dip.
