Ingredients

  • 1 egg whisked

Instructions

Air Fryer Coconut Shrimp
    Cup of Yum
  1. Spray the air fryer basket with avocado oil spray and set it aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, mix together the coconut flakes and panko bread crumbs.
  3. Place the flour, egg, and coconut panko mix in separate shallow dishes.
  4. Dip the shrimp into the flour, coating all said. Remove, shake off the excess, and dip in the egg, fully coating. Remove, shake off the excess, and dip in the coconut Panko mixture coating all sides. Set aside while you do the remaining scrimp. I like to set them on a cooling rack, but this isn't required.
  5. Place the shrimp in the air fryer basket making sure they do not overlap. You may need to do multiple batches depending on the size of your basket.
  6. Spray the tops of the shrimp lightly with your avocado oil spray.
  7. Cook in the air fryer at 400°F for 5 minutes.
  8. Open the basket, flip your shrimp over, spray lightly with avocado oil spray again and cook an additional 3 minutes.
  9. Remove the shrimp and serve them with the creamy pineapple dipping sauce!
Creamy Pineapple Dipping Sauce
