Ingredients
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/2 C tapioca flour
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1 egg
- 1 T water
- 1 1/2 C unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1/4 C honey
- 2 T coconut aminos
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 T lime juice
Instructions
- Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel and sprinkle with the sea salt. Set up a breading station with three bowls. In the first bowl, add the tapioca flour; in the second bowl, whisk the eggs with the water; in the third bowl, add the coconut flakes.
- Start with the shrimp in the tapioca flour and move through the following two stations. It’s best only to do a couple of shrimps at a time. After removing them from the coconut station, set them on a clean plate and continue the process until all the shrimp are breaded.
- Place the breaded shrimp in the air fryer's basket; you will probably need to cook them in 2-3 batches, depending on the size of your air fryer. Cook the shrimp at 360 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
- While the shrimp cooks, add the honey, coconut aminos, minced garlic, and lime juice to a small saucepan and bring to a boil, remove the sauce from the heat and set it aside.
- Once the shrimp is cooked, drizzle them with the sauce and serve.
