Ingredients
  • ½ pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp (tails intact)
  • 1 cup canned coconut milk
  • Finely grated zest of 1 lime
  • Kosher salt
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Cooking spray
  • 1 small or ½ medium cucumber, halved and seeded
  • 1 cup coconut yogurt (or dairy yogurt)
  • 1 serrano chile, seeded and minced
Directions
  1. In a bowl, combine the shrimp, coconut milk, lime zest, and ½ teaspoon kosher salt. Let the shrimp stand for 10 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, stir together the breadcrumbs and shredded coconut and season with salt and pepper.
  3. A few at a time, add the shrimp to the breadcrumb mixture and toss to coat completely. Transfer the shrimp to a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Spray the shrimp all over with cooking spray.
  4. Transfer the shrimp to the air fryer and cook at 400°F until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Move the shrimp to a serving platter and season with more salt.
  5. Grate the cucumber into a small bowl. Stir in the coconut yogurt and chile and season with salt and pepper. Serve alongside the shrimp while they're warm.
