Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails on)
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tsp sriracha (or more to taste)
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
  • 1 serving cooking spray

Method
 

  1. Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. In a shallow bowl, mix cornstarch, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, beat eggs. In a third bowl, combine shredded coconut and panko.
  2. Working one at a time, dredge shrimp in cornstarch mixture, shaking off excess. Dip into beaten egg, then press into coconut-panko mixture, coating well. Place on a plate.
  3. Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
  4. Arrange shrimp in a single layer in the basket, leaving space between them. Spray the tops lightly with cooking spray. You may need to cook in batches.
  5. Air fry at 400°F for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until shrimp are golden brown and cooked through (opaque and firm).
  6. While shrimp cook, whisk honey, sriracha, and lime juice in a small bowl.
  7. Transfer shrimp to a serving plate, drizzle with spicy honey, and sprinkle with cilantro if desired. Serve immediately.
