Air Fried Coconut Shrimp
Ingredients
- ¾ cup (about 3 1/4 ounce) all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup panko
- ¾ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 pound UWP peeled, deveined raw shrimp, tail-on
- Cooking spray
- ½ cup Thai sweet chili sauce (or any other sauce that catches your eye😉)

Meanwhile, toss half of the raw shrimp in flour to coat completely. Remove shrimp from flour, gently shaking to remove excess flour, and transfer to bowl with eggs; turn to coat. Lift shrimp from eggs, allowing excess to drip back into bowl, and add to panko mixture. Turn shrimp to coat, pressing lightly to adhere.
-
Generously coat preheated air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place dredged shrimp in air fryer basket; generously coat shrimp with cooking spray. Cook shrimp until golden brown, crispy, and just cooked through, about 5 minutes and 30 seconds, turning shrimp once and re-coating shrimp with cooking spray halfway through cook time. While shrimp are cooking, repeat dredging process with remaining raw shrimp. Transfer cooked shrimp to a platter, and repeat cooking process with remaining dredged shrimp.
-
Stir together sweet chili sauce and 1 1/2 tablespoons of the cilantro in a small bowl until combined. Sprinkle cooked shrimp evenly with remaining 1/2 tablespoon cilantro. Serve shrimp alongside sauce.
