AIR-FRYER SHRIMP PO'BOYS

Air-Fryer Shrimp Po'Boys image

My husband loves crispy coconut shrimp and po'boys, so I combined them with a spicy remoulade and voila! This air-fryer shrimp is a big hit with family and friends and is frequently requested. For catfish po'boys, substitute cornmeal for the coconut and add a few minutes to the cooking time. -Marla Clark, Albuquerque, New Mexico
