- Working one at a time, dredge each shrimp in flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Dip the floured shrimp in the egg, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, press the shrimp into the coconut-bread crumb mixture, coating them well. Set the shrimp aside on a plate.
- Spray the inner basket of an air fryer with cooking spray, then preheat it to 400 degrees F. Place shrimp in a single layer in the basket, spray lightly with cooking oil, and air fry for 4 minutes.
