Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Nonstick cooking spray
1 pound large shrimp (16/20 count), peeled and deveined, tails on
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
Sweet chile sauce, for dipping

Steps:

  • Spray the basket of a 3.5-quart air fryer with cooking spray and set aside. Pat the shrimp dry between a couple of paper towels, then season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper.
  • Pulse the coconut and panko in a food processor until finely chopped and uniform in size. Transfer to a shallow bowl.
  • Whisk the flour with 3/4 teaspoon salt and few grinds pepper in another shallow bowl or a baking dish. Whisk the eggs with a pinch salt in a third shallow bowl. Dip a shrimp in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess, then dip in the beaten egg. Dredge in the coconut-panko mixture, turning until evenly coated. Transfer to a large plate or a rimmed baking sheet and continue until all the shrimp are coated.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 385 degrees. Working in batches, place some of the shrimp in the fryer basket in a single layer, then spray lightly with more nonstick cooking spray. Cook until the shrimp are golden brown and cooked through, flipping halfway through, about 10 minutes.
  • Serve the coconut shrimp with some sweet chile sauce for dipping.
