HOW TO MAKE AIR FRYER COCONUT SHRIMP:

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper then set up a dredging station:

First bowl, combine flour and Old Bay seasoning.

Second bow, whisk the eggs.

Third bowl, blend the coconut and panko breadcrumbs together.

Dredge the shrimp into the flour mixture and shake off any excess flour.

Next dip the shrimp into the eggs then dredge in the coconut/panko mixture and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.

Spray each piece of shrimp with cooking spray then transfer to the air fryer basket leaving a little space between them (work in batches if necessary).

Cook 9-12 minutes or until golden brown, turning them over halfway through cooking.

Remove from the air fryer, lightly sprinkle with salt.

Garnish with chopped parsley and serve this crunchy shrimp right.
