Crispy Air Fryer Coconut Shrimp

Golden, crunchy coconut shrimp from the air fryer — no deep frying, all the crisp.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp paprika
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Set up three bowls: flour, beaten eggs, and coconut mixed with panko, salt, and paprika.
  2. Dredge each shrimp in flour, dip in egg, then coat in the coconut mixture, pressing gently.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
  4. Arrange shrimp in a single layer, spray lightly with oil, and cook 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden.
  5. Serve immediately with sweet chili sauce.

Tips

  • Don’t crowd the basket — work in batches for maximum crisp.
  • Press the coating on firmly so it sticks during cooking.
