Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Prepare your air fryer by preheating it to 400°F (200°C) and gathering all ingredients.
  2. In one bowl, mix flour, salt, and pepper. In a second bowl, whisk eggs until frothy. In a third bowl, combine coconut flakes and panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Dredge each shrimp in the flour mixture first, then dip into the egg wash, and finally roll in the coconut-panko blend. Press lightly to ensure adherence.
  4. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange shrimp in a single layer.
  5. Air fry for about 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.
  6. Remove from the air fryer and let cool slightly before serving with dipping sauce.
