• Place the all-purpose flour in a shallow bowl or on a baking sheet.

  Combine the breadcrumbs, coconut flakes, bacon, Cajun seasoning, black pepper, and lemon zest in a separate wide bowl or baking sheet.

  Whisk the egg in another shallow bowl.

  In a separate bowl, stir together the soy sauce and brown sugar.
  ½ cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup panko bread crumbs, ½ cup unsweetened desiccated coconut , 2 cooked bacon strips, chopped to bits, ½ tablespoon cajun seasoning , Ground black pepper , Zest of 1 lemon, 2 large eggs, ⅓ cup soy sauce, 1½ tablespoons brown sugar

COAT THE SHRIMP

• Dip the shrimp into the soy sauce mixture, letting the excess drip off. Coat in the all-purpose flour, dip into the egg mixture, then toss in the coconut mixture until completely coated.

  Set aside on a cooling rack, or transfer directly to the air fryer basket once you’ve coated about six shrimp.

BAKE

• Arrange the shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket and lightly spray with cooking oil. Air fry for 8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and cooked through. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
