Next, dip the floured shrimp in the beaten egg, allowing excess egg to drip off. Finally, dredge the shrimp in the coconut-panko mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coconut adheres well. Place the coated shrimp on a plate and generously coat with cooking spray. (20 minutes)

Recipe View 15 mins Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange half of the shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they aren't overcrowded. Cook for approximately 3 minutes, then flip the shrimp and continue cooking for another 3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Season immediately with 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt. Repeat with the remaining shrimp. (15 minutes)

For extra crispy shrimp, consider double-dredging: dredge in flour, then egg, then coconut, and repeat.
If you don't have panko, you can use regular breadcrumbs, but panko will give a lighter, crispier texture.
Adjust the amount of serrano chile in the dip to your liking. For a milder dip, remove the seeds and membranes from the chile before slicing.
Serve immediately for the best texture. If you need to keep the shrimp warm, place them in a preheated oven at 200°F (95°C).
