Easy and Crispy Coconut Shrimp
Ingredients

Instructions
- Step 1 In a small dish, combine Panko and coconut. Season with salt and pepper

- Step 3 Dip each shrimp into the flour, shaking off any excess, then into the egg white, then into the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat with all shrimp
- Step 4 To air fry: preheat fryer to 390 degrees. Spray basket with cooking spray then cook shrimp for 3 minutes, flip, and air fry for another 2 minutes. Shrimp should be fully cooked and coating should be crisp
- Step 5 To bake: preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Line up shrimp on prepared pan and bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven, flip and cook for another 6 minutes or until shrimp are fully cooked and coating is crisp
NOT-SO-PRO TIPS
These taste great on their own but even better dipped in your favorite sweet chili sauce. Panko breadcrumbs are a Japanese style breadcrumb that should be easy to find at any major grocery store. In mine, they are kept right next to regular breadcrumbs. I always keep a bag of frozen, uncooked shrimp in my freezer! That way I can always count on having the right amount without worrying about quality or freshness.
This recipe makes a single serving of Easy Crispy Coconut Shrimp but it is so easy to double (or more) for a larger crowd
