Air-Fryer coconut shrimp is going to wow your taste buds. The crispy flavour from the air fryer is pure perfection. Plus you are getting fibre, iron and a variety of other important minerals.
This recipe is going to impress your guests, your family and more importantly, yourself! It can be made in minutes so you can enjoy the incredible flavours in no time at all. Yes, coconut does have a lot of fat and most of the fat does come from saturated fat, so with anything, this recipe should be made in moderation. However, coconut also has other incredible nutrients to offer so I like to incorporate them into my diet. Nourishing your body is all about balance and consuming a diet from an array of foods.
I am excited for you to try and I hope you love it as much as I do.

Air-Fryer Coconut Shrimp
Ingredients
- 1½ lb large shrimp (shelled, deveined)
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut flakes
- ¼ tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- ⅓-½ cup light coconut milk (depending on how thin you like the batter)
- coconut baking spray
Instructions
- In a bowl combine, panko breadcrumbs, unsweetened coconut flakes, salt, paprika, and garlic powder.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour with egg and coconut milk. Feel free to add more coconut milk, if batter needs to be thinned out.
- Dip shrimp in the wet bowl, followed by the dry bowl, and place the coated shrimp onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Spay the air-fryer basket with coconut spray and preheat your air fryer to 390°.
- Once preheated, work in batches, allowing the shrimp not to touch one another. Spray the shrimp with coconut oil before cooking. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Enjoy!!!
