🥘 Ingredients
Main
  • 1 lb large shrimp (peeled, deveined, tail-on)
Breading Station
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 2 large eggs (beaten)
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 3/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
Cooking
  • cooking spray (as needed)
Serving
  • 1/2 cup sweet chili sauce (for dipping)
  • lime wedges (for serving)
📝 Instructions
  1. Pat shrimp completely dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt. Shared 💡 Dry shrimp equals better breading adhesion. Moisture is the enemy of crispiness.
  2. Set up 3 bowls: bowl 1 — flour with salt and cayenne; bowl 2 — beaten eggs; bowl 3 — panko mixed with shredded coconut. Shared 💡 Use shallow bowls or pie plates for easy dipping.
  3. Hold shrimp by the tail. Dredge in flour (shake off excess), dip in egg, then coat in coconut-panko mixture, pressing firmly. Shared 💡 Keep one hand dry for handling dry ingredients — avoids clumpy fingers.
  4. Place breaded shrimp on a plate. Repeat with all shrimp. Shared 💡 Bread all shrimp before cooking — you want them to hit the pan at the same time.
  5. Preheat Ninja on Air Fry at 375°F for 3 minutes. Spray basket generously with cooking spray. Lower Oven 💡 This high temp gives the coconut a beautiful golden toast without burning.
  6. Place shrimp in the pan in a single layer. Spray tops lightly with cooking spray. Air Fry at 375°F for 4 minutes per side, flipping carefully. Lower Oven 💡 The spray on top helps the coconut brown evenly. Do not overcrowd.
  7. Remove when golden brown. Serve immediately with sweet chili sauce and lime wedges. Shared 💡 A squeeze of lime brightens the richness of the coconut coating.
💡 Ninja Tips

Unsweetened coconut works best — sweetened coconut burns quickly at high heat. If using sweetened, reduce temp to 360°F and add 1-2 minutes.

Scaling: To double: cook in two batches, keeping first batch warm in 200°F oven on a wire rack. To halve: use 1/2 lb shrimp, halve all breading amounts.
