Coconut shrimp come out great in the air fryer, and are served with a simple spicy honey-lime dip.

Air Fryer Coconut Shrimp

all-purpose flour

black pepper

eggs

coconut

panko bread crumbs

cooking spray

½ teaspoon kosher salt, divided

honey

lime juice

serrano chile, thinly sliced

cilantro

Stir together flour and pepper in shallow dish. Lightly beat eggs in a second shallow dish. Stir together coconut and panko in a third shallow dish. Hold each shrimp by the tail, dredge in flour mixture, and shake off excess. Then dip floured shrimp in egg, and allow any excess to drip off. Finally, dredge in coconut mixture, pressing to adhere. Place on a plate. Coat shrimp well with cooking spray.


Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place 1/2 the shrimp in the air fryer and cook about 3 minutes. Turn shrimp over and continue cooking until golden, about 3 minutes more. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Repeat with remaining shrimp.


Meanwhile, whisk together honey, lime juice, and serrano chile in small bowl for the dip.


Sprinkle fried shrimp with cilantro and serve with dip.


Really good recipe!  I didnt make the dipping sauce, but it turns out that i didnt need it. It was good by itself.  I will definitely be putting this recipe in my dinner rotation, especially since my toddler loved it.

Made it for super bowl party and everyone loved it. The only thing I did different was to make a mango dipping sauce instead of the honey and lime, but will try that one next time.

I don’t know if it was my air fryer but I had to double the cooking time (6 min each side) bc the shrimps were not cooked enough. Sprinkled shrimp with sea salt and pepper then put in bridge about 30 min before air frying. Easy recipe. Was a bit bland.  My kid liked it.

Quick easy and tasty. Did not make any changes and none are needed. The only thing I did different was to make my own dipping sauce which is a Pina Colada sauce. Thanks for a great recipe!

Super good! Easy to make! The honey sauce is a bit to thin for me with those measurements. Next time I think I ll try less lime but I also used honey straight from a bee farm. So maybe that s why the consistency was like that!

I was a bit skeptical but this turned out wonderful. I didn t make the dip since we made tacos with the shrimp. Great dinner with a 5 star rating from my husband (who reserves five star rating for the best of the best!).

I followed the recipe exactly and it came out perfectly.

Great recipe! My spouse liked it so much, he even complimented me. Only change made was that I refrigerated for an hour after breading and then sprayed with oil and cooked. From experience, this allows the breading to dry and adhere.

10.16.19  What a good recipe, liked everything about it.  Have been trying to use my air fryer more, and this recipe’s a keeper.  Nice break from traditional deep-fried coconut shrimp, and they cooked perfectly at a total of 6 minutes.  The shrimp had nice presentation, were crispy with a very tender bite, and I wouldn’t change a thing in this recipe.  I didn’t use the dipping sauce this time, rather used a thin-downed version of Bahamian Marmalade Barbecue Sauce, another recipe on this site.  Recipes like this are making me an air fryer convert!  Thanks for sharing your recipe.
