Time 1h

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.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my shrimp came out soggy. I think I might have overcooked them.

I had some trouble getting the coating to stick to the shrimp. I ended up having to double-coat them.

These were a little too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them.

I followed the recipe exactly and the shrimp came out perfect. The coconut coating was crispy and golden brown, and the shrimp were cooked through but still juicy.

I'm not usually a fan of coconut shrimp, but these were amazing! The coating was perfectly crispy and the shrimp were cooked to perfection.
