Easy and Simple Air-Fryer Coconut Shrimp
A fun, crispy, and tropical take on shrimp using the air fryer for a light and delightful treat that’s ready in no time!
Equipment
- Air-fryer
- Mixing bowls
- Dredging Station (or just your kitchen counter)
- Baking Sheet (for easy prep)
Ingredients
- 1 lb large shrimp peeled and deveined
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs beaten
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
- Set up your dredging station: One bowl with flour, another with beaten eggs, and a third with a mix of coconut flakes, panko, salt, and pepper.
- Dredge the shrimp in flour, dip in eggs, and coat with the coconut mixture. Get messy—you know you want to!
- Place the shrimp in the air fryer basket in a single layer (no crowding!), and fry for about 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through until they’re crispy and golden.
- Serve hot with your favourite dipping sauce, and enjoy the tropical vibes from the comfort of your couch!
Notes
- Don’t skimp on the coconut! The more, the merrier—the crunchier the shrimp, the better the bite!
- These little delights are best enjoyed fresh, but you can keep any leftovers in the fridge for a day or two—if they last that long!
