Shrimps are coated in coconut flakes, breadcrumbs, and spices and cooked in the Air Fryer. Served with a dipping hot sauce. It is one of the easiest restaurant-style seafood appetizers that you can make at home!
Even better, this version is healthier than the traditional fried version, so you can have more of them without the guilt. The air fryer has quickly become a popular appliance. It makes healthier versions of deep-fried foods and can speed up cook time. So give it a try and make a delicious and tropical Coconut Shrimp this summertime season!
I have used an Aukey Home Air Fryer:
- This air fryer features a transparent window that allows you to see how well your dinner is cooking without lifting the air fryer lid.
- It has 8 preset menus including Max Crisp, Air Fry, Air Broil, Air Grill, Air Roast, Bake, Dehydrate, and Reheat.
- The unit came with a nonstick Detachable Basket with two handles and a crisper plate.
- This Aukey home Air Fryer has worked really well. Cooking is a breeze with an aukey air fryer.
- I love its control touchscreen and methods of cooking. We would recommend this device to anyone looking for a nice air fryer.

Tips to Make Coconut Shrimps:
- If using frozen shrimp, then make sure that it has been thawed.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer's basket, this will prevent the shrimp from getting crispy.
- Be sure to pat dry your shrimp, to avoid a soggy crust.
- Don’t forget to flip the shrimp halfway through the cooking process, this will allow even cooking.
