Coconut Shrimp

Ingredients

  • 455g large shrimp (about 16 to 20), peeled and de-veined 60g flour

  • salt and freshly ground black pepper

  • 2 egg whites

  • 55g fine breadcrumbs

  • 80g shredded unsweetened coconut

  • zest of one lime

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

  • vegetable or canola oil

  • sweet chilli sauce or duck sauce (for serving)

  • Ninja Foodi Dual Zone 7,6L Air Fryer

Directions

  1. Place the flour in a shallow dish and season well with salt and black pepper. Whisk the egg whites in a second shallow dish. In a third shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, coconut, lime zest, salt and cayenne pepper.

  2. Coat each shrimp by first dredging it in flour, then dipping it in the egg mixture, and finally pressing it into the breadcrumb-coconut mixture to cover all sides.

  3. Insert crisper plates in the baskets. Divide the breaded shrimp evenly between both baskets and spray both sides with vegetable oil, then insert the baskets into the unit. Select Zone 1. Turn the dial to select AIR FRY. Set the temperature to 200°C and set the time to 5 minutes. Press the MATCH COOK button to copy Zone 1's settings to Zone 2. Press START/ PAUSE to begin cooking in both zones, turning the shrimp over for the last minute or two.

  4. Lower the temperature of the air fryer to 170°C and air-fry for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.

  5. Serve with sweet chili since, duck sauce or just eat them plain!
