Ingredients needed to make keto coconut shrimp in the air fryer.

How to Make Healthy Coconut Shrimp

Just a few simple steps are all you need to make this crispy shrimp.

Air Fryer Coconut Shrimp Recipe

Preheat the Air Fryer to 390 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare the air fryer basket with non stick cooking spray.

Arrange three bowls. Add the coconut flour, paprika, salt, and pepper to one bowl. Coconut flakes to the second bowl, and beaten eggs in the third bowl. 

Dip the shrimp into the coconut flour mixture, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally into the coconut flakes. Set aside on a wire rack until you’ve finished with all of the shrimp. 

Add the coconut shrimp in a single layer into the prepared air fryer basket and cook for 10-12 minutes at 390 degrees Fahrenheit. Flip the shrimp halfway through. 

Remove when golden brown and serve immediately.

FAQs for Fresh Shrimp with Coconut Flavors

Can you use sweet coconut flakes instead of unsweetened coconut flakes?

You can! Just be certain that when you get to the step for coated shrimp that you know adding sweetened flakes will be added calories as well. Air frying them will still be the same and it will change a few of the health benefits, too.

What do you dip shrimp into once cooked?

You’re going to be looking for a sweet dipping sauce for this recipe. Put some sweet chili sauce into a small bowl or have separate shallow bowls filled with other types of sauces as well.
