Directions
- Preheat Bravo to 375°F. Set to “Air Fry” and set Cooking Rack in slot 2.
- In a shallow bowl, toss coconut with bread crumbs. In another shallow bowl, whisk egg whites, hot sauce, salt and pepper. Place flour in a third shallow bowl.
- Dip shrimp in flour to coat lightly, shaking off any excess. Dip in egg white mixture, then in coconut mixture, patting to help coating adhere.
- Spray Air Fry Basket with nonstick cooking spray. Working in batches, place shrimp in a single layer in Air Fry Basket. Cook 8 min. until coconut is light brown and shrimp turn pink and opaque.
While cooking, combine all sauce ingredients in a small saucepan. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until preserves melt. Serve shrimp immediately with sauce.
