Air Fryer Coconut Shrimp Recipe
Who wants to try this coconut shrimp? This is an amazing recipe to make for dinner. If you don’t have an air fryer yet it is a must-have for easy and quick cooking. I love how these ingredients are normal household items and whole thing is quick to make. Don’t forget to add some cocktail sauce or dipping sauce. Your family or guests will be raving about the meal for ages. Make sure to make plenty. They’ll be asking for seconds.
If you don’t have an air fryer you can check them out on Amazon. This Black & Decker is only $99. If you purchase frozen shrimp please make sure it is defrosted but still chilled before making the coconut shrimp.

This looks really good. I’m new to air frying. How long do the shrimp cook in the fryer? Thanks.
Recipe doesn’t say weather the shrimp are precooked or not from the photo it seems they are ! Cooking time varies,precooked about 5to7min ,uncooked shrimp 7to10 min
I’m so sorry. I wasn’t online all day. I hope you figured it out and the recipe turned out well.
Yes it me again ! I am guessing the spray can of olive oil is to spay the air fryer basket once it is preheated ?
Yes it is.
I often visit your website and have noticed that you don’t update
it often. More frequent updates will give your
site higher authority & rank in google. I know that writing articles
takes a lot of time, but you can always help yourself with
miftolo’s tools which will shorten the time of creating an article to
a couple of seconds.
The recipe calls for egg whites but the picture appears to be whole eggs including yokes? Please confirm
I think coconut shrimp is the perfect air fryer dish! I will give this a try.
Whole eggs or egg whites for breading here?
Thanks for sharing this recipe.
