Air Fryer Coconut Shrimp is a popular dish that originated in Southeast Asia, where coconut and seafood are abundant. This crispy and flavorful dish has gained popularity in recent years due to the rise of air fryer cooking. The dish typically consists of large shrimp coated in a mixture of shredded coconut and breadcrumbs, then air fried to perfection. Chefs and home cooks alike have put their own spin on the recipe, adding various seasonings and spices to enhance the flavor. The result is a delightful combination of juicy shrimp and crispy coconut coating. For the best version of this dish, look for restaurants in coastal regions known for their fresh seafood.
