Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb large shrimp (21-25 count), peeled and deveined, tails on
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder

  1. In a shallow bowl, stir together the panko, coconut, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Set up three bowls: flour, beaten eggs, and coconut mixture. Pat shrimp dry. Dredge each in flour, dip in egg, then press firmly into the coconut mixture.
  3. Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Spray basket with oil. Place shrimp in a single layer, spray tops, and air fry 5 minutes. Flip, spray again, and cook 3 to 5 minutes more until golden and crisp.
  4. Serve hot with sweet chili sauce and lime wedges.

Notes

These are at their crispiest right out of the air fryer. If you need to hold a batch, place them on a wire rack in a 200°F oven for up to 20 minutes so they don't steam.
