Ingredients
Scale
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup shredded coconut
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
In a bowl, mix the flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
In another bowl, beat the eggs.
In a third bowl, combine the shredded coconut and panko breadcrumbs.
Dip each shrimp first in the flour mixture, then in the beaten eggs, and finally in the coconut-panko mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
Place the coated shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket and spray lightly with cooking spray.
Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the shrimp in lime juice for 15 minutes before coating.
Adjust the cooking time based on the size of the shrimp.
