Air-Fryer Coconut Shrimp

This Coconut Shrimp recipe is delightfully crisp on the outside with a plump and tender shrimp on the inside.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb. Jumbo Shrimp, defrosted, peels removed, tails on (about 18 to 20)
  • cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp lime zest
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • ½ cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1/3 cup mayo
  • 1 tbsp Thai sweet chili sauce

Instructions

  1. Dredge the thawed shrimp in a mixture of flour, lime zest and salt.
  2. Dip each floured shrimp in lightly beaten eggs (works great in a shallow cup).
  3. Combine the coconut flakes and panko breadcrumbs in a small bowl and coat each shrimp with coconut mixture.
  4. Air fry in single layer at 375 degrees F for 6 minutes, flipping halfway.
  5. Combine mayo and Thai sweet chili sauce to make the dipping sauce. Serve shrimp hot with prepared sauce and lime wedges if desired.
