Air Fryer Coconut Shrimp
Crispy coconut shrimp cooked in an air fryer, served with a sweet honey-lime dipping sauce.
Ingredients
- all-purpose flour (0.5 cup)
- ground black pepper (1.5 teaspoon)
- eggs (2 )
- unsweetened flaked coconut (0.67 cup)
- panko bread crumbs (0.33 cup)
- uncooked medium shrimp (12 ounces)
- cooking spray (0 )
- kosher salt (0.5 teaspoon)
- honey (0.25 cup)
- lime juice (0.25 cup)
- serrano chile (1 )
- chopped fresh cilantro (2 teaspoon)
Instructions
- Gather the ingredients.
- Stir together flour and pepper in a shallow dish. Lightly beat eggs in a second shallow dish. Stir together coconut and panko in a third shallow dish.
- Working one at a time, dredge shrimp in flour mixture; shake off excess. Dip floured shrimp in egg; allow any excess to drip off. Finally, dredge in coconut mixture, pressing to adhere. Place shrimp on a plate. Coat shrimp well with cooking spray.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place 1/2 of the shrimp in the air fryer and cook about 3 minutes. Turn shrimp over and continue cooking until golden, about 3 minutes more. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
- Meanwhile, whisk together honey, lime juice, and serrano chile in a small bowl.
- Sprinkle fried shrimp with cilantro and serve with honey-lime dip.
