Coconut shrimp is great to cook in Air fryer without adding too much unhealthy oil. Let's make homemade coconut shrimp using your air fryer with a little bit of spice.
Ingredients
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- ⅔ cup unsweetened flaked coconut
- ⅓ cup panko bread crumbs
- 12 ounces uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- cooking spray
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup lime juice
- 1 serrano chile, thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro
Directions
Combine the flour and pepper in shallow dish and beat the eggs lightly in a second shallow dish. Mix together the coconut and panko in a third shallow dish. Pull the shrimp by the tail, and put in flour mixture and shake off the excess. Then soak floured shrimp in egg and allow any excess to drip off. Soak the coated shrimp into coconut mixture and press to adhere. Place on a plate and spray the shrimp well with cooking spray.
Preheat the air fryer and set the temperature to 400°F. Place half of the shrimp in the air fryer then let it cook for about 3 minutes. Flip the shrimp on the other side and continue cooking until turns golden for additional 3 minutes. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and repeat the process with the remaining shrimp.
Then in a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice, and serrano chile for the dip.
Sprinkle the fried shrimp with cilantro and serve with dip.
