Here’s how to make Air Fryer Coconut Shrimp in a few simple steps:

1. Preheat Your Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat for about 5 minutes.
2. Prepare the Shrimp: In a bowl, season the peeled and deveined shrimp with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
3. Set Up Breading Station: Place flour in one bowl, beat the eggs in a second bowl, and mix the shredded coconut with panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
4. Coat the Shrimp: Start by dredging each shrimp in flour, tapping off excess. Next, dip it in the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off. Finally, coat the shrimp in the coconut and panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
5. Arrange in the Air Fryer: Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the coated shrimp in a single layer, ensuring they aren’t overlapping. You may need to do this in batches.
6. Cook the Shrimp: Spray the tops of the shrimp lightly with cooking spray. Cook for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
7. Check for Doneness: The shrimp should be golden brown and crispy when done. They are safe to eat when they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C).
8. Remove and Serve: Carefully take the shrimp out of the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving.

With these straightforward steps, you’ll be able to create crispy and delightful Air Fryer Coconut Shrimp with ease!
