INGREDIENTS

• 1 pound uncooked shrimp (26-30 per pound)
• 3/4 cup sweetened shredded coconut
• 4 tablespoons panko bread crumbs
• 2 large egg whites
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• Dash pepper
• Dash Louisiana-style hot sauce
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• For Sauce:
• 1/3 cup apricot preserves
• 1/2 teaspoon cider vinegar

DIRECTIONS

• Peel and devein shrimp, leaving tails on. In a shallow bowl, toss coconut with bread crumbs. In another shallow bowl, whisk egg whites, salt, pepper and hot sauce. Place flour in a third shallow bowl.
• Heat air fryer to 375°F. Dip shrimp in flour to coat lightly; shake off excess. Dip in egg white mixture, then in coconut mixture, patting to help coating adhere.
• Place shrimp in a single layer on greased tray in air-fryer basket. Cook 4 minutes; turn shrimp and continue cooking until coconut is lightly browned, about 4 minutes longer.
• Meanwhile, combine sauce ingredients in a small saucepan; cook and stir over medium-low heat until preserves are melted. Serve shrimp immediately with sauce.
