Air Fryer Coconut Shrimp

Ingredients

• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup sweetened desiccated coconut flakes
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 7 oz jumbo shrimp (or tiger prawn, peeled with the tail on.)

Steps

1. 1

   In a bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and sweetened desiccated coconut flakes. Mix well and set aside.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until well combined. Set aside.

3. 3

   Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels to remove any moisture. Dip each shrimp into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, roll it in the panko-coconut mixture, pressing lightly to adhere. Shake off any excess. Dip the shrimp into the egg mixture once more, then roll it in the panko mixture again for a second coating.

4. 4

   Place the coated shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and air fry for 5 minutes.

5. 5

   After 5 minutes, flip the shrimp over and air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes, until golden and crispy.

6. 6

   Take the shrimp out of the air fryer and serve with chili sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
