Key West Coconut Shrimp Bites

Ingredients

• 2 lbs Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 3 tbsp Salted Perfection Key West Select Blend
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 2 Large eggs, beaten
• 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
• Cooking spray (avocado or olive oil)

Instructions

1. Pat the shrimp completely dry with paper towels to ensure the coating sticks perfectly to the surface.
2. Set up your dredging station with three shallow bowls: one with the flour, one with the beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of the panko, shredded coconut, and the Salted Perfection Key West Select Blend.
3. Dredge each shrimp in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip into the egg, and finally press firmly into the coconut and panko mixture until well-coated.
4. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F for about 3 minutes to ensure a hot start.
5. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil and arrange the shrimp in a single layer, making sure they are not touching so the hot air can circulate around each bite.
6. Air fry for 6 to 8 minutes, flipping the shrimp halfway through, until the coconut coating is a beautiful golden brown and the shrimp are opaque and tender.
7. Transfer the hot shrimp to a serving platter and serve immediately while the crust is at its peak crunch. DUNZO!
