Ingredients
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- ¾ cup Panko Bread crumbs
- 2 eggs
- 1 Tablespoon water
- 1 pound uncooked jumbo shrimp, deveined and tail on you can use tail on if you prefer
- coconut cooking spray regular non-stick cooking spray will also work
- sweet chili sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Set up your dredging station. In one bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the coconut and panko. In a third bowl, whisk together the eggs and water.
- Prep. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F and grease the basket with non-stick cooking spray (I like using coconut cooking spray for this recipe). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Bread the shrimp. One handful at a time, coat the shrimp in the flour mixture and then dip it in the egg mixture. Finally, coat the shrimp in the coconut mixture. Arrange the breaded shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining shrimp.
- Air fry. Arrange the shrimp in a single layer in the basket of the preheated air fryer. Be careful not to crowd the basket. If you need to fry in batches, do so. Air fry for 5 minutes, flip, and air fry for another 5 minutes.
- Serve. Serve hot with sweet chili sauce.
