Instructions
 

Coconut Shrimp

  • Preheat your air fryer to 400F
  • In a bowl, whisk the egg, then slowly drizzle the olive oil into it until fully blended and creamy in appearance.
  • Add the salt, pepper, milk, and flour to the egg mixture and whisk until well combined - batter should be thick and smooth.
  • Combine the coconut flakes with the panko in a separate shallow bowl and set aside.
  • Toss the shrimp into the batter (you can do this ahead and refrigerate the shrimp in the batter until ready to continue).
  • Remove shrimp from batter and dredge them in the coconut mixture and place onto wire baking rack or into your air fryer basket.
  • Cook for about 8 minutes total, flipping them over about halfway through. **Cooking time may vary depending on the type/brand of air fryer you are using.
  • Top with mango salsa.

Mango Salsa

  • While the shrimp are cooking, combine all the ingredients for the salsa in a small mixing bowl. Toss to combine and set aside.
