Ingredients

  • 1 lb. large raw shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 eggs whisked
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • avocado oil/olive oil spray
  • cilantro for garnish
  • Thai sweet chili sauce for serving

Instructions

  • If you haven’t already, peel and devein the shrimp.
  • Next, set up your assembly line: Combine the flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in one bowl, the eggs in a second bowl and the coconut and breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
  • Dip the shrimp into the flour mixture, then into the eggs and lastly into the coconut, making sure they’re completely coated.
  • Place the shrimp into your air fryer, spray with a little avocado oil/olive oil spray and air fry at 370° for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. NOTE: you may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer; you don’t want the shrimp to be overlapping at all.
  • Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve alongside some Thai sweet chili sauce. Enjoy!
