How to Make Air Fryer Coconut Shrimp

Classic coconut shrimp gets a healthy makeover in the air fryer! Enjoy these crispy shrimp as a low-carb appetizer or entree. Tip: Do not crowd the shrimp in the air fryer. If they do not all fit comfortably in one layer in the air fryer basket, cook the shrimp in batches.

Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. Pat the shrimp dry using paper towels. Place the egg whites and water in a shallow bowl, whisking to combine.
  2. Combine the panko bread crumbs, coconut, cumin, turmeric, coriander, and salt in another shallow bowl.
  3. Dip the shrimp in the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip back into the bowl, and then coat in the panko mixture. Place the coated shrimp on a wire rack. Repeat with all shrimp.
  4. Place the shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Spray the shrimp with nonstick cooking spray for 2 seconds. Set the temperature to 400º F and air fry for 4 minutes. Turn the shrimp over. Air fry for 2 to 4 minutes, or until the shrimp are golden brown. Serve warm.

Very tasty but the coconut didn't stick hardly at all. But I will certainly try again. ????
