Ingredients
- ¾ cup Panko bread crumbs
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 count eggs
- ½ count lime
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 25 count large shrimp defrosted
Instructions
- In a large and shallow bowl, combine the panko bread crumbs, shredded coconut, and garlic powder.
- In another bowl, whisk eggs until beaten. Squeeze ½ of the lime juice into the eggs.
- In one more bowl, add the flour. Season with salt + pepper + smoked paprika.
- Dredge the shrimp in flour, then dunk into the egg mixture, then dredge in the coconut mixture. Be sure to press the coconut mixture fully onto the shrimp so it's covered completely.
- Add your shrimp to the air fryer and spray with a bit of non-stick cooking spray.
- Cook in batches according to your air fryer instructions. My air fryer worked best at 350°F for about 5 minutes. You want your shrimp to be golden brown. Don't have an air fryer? You can fry normally - heat some vegetable oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Fry until golden brown, for 3-5 minutes.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce - I love a good sweet chili sauce with this. Enjoy!
