Low- Carb Coconut "fried" Shrimp (copycat restaurant apps)

As you may be aware from my other posts, I eat a low carb (kind of Ketogenic) diet, and have been doing so for the last 4 years.  So I just loved that my Air fryer can give me those kind of restaurant flavored (can we say Junk food) feel and still be healthy.  This is a favorite recipe.  First of all it is Super easy, can be prepared in minutes, and everyone who tastes it is blown away.  One of my favorite ways of serving it is to put five Coconut Fried Shrimp on a salad.  I add chopped cilantro and mint to my romaine greens and some green onions and tops with a little sesame oil or an Asian style dressing (I make my own or use the Bragg's Sesame ginger).  I call it Coconut Fried Shrimp with Vietnamese salad (YUM).  These are also great to serve for a party with a spicy ketchup dipping sauce. For my dipping sauce I use Westbrae Unsweetened Organic Ketchup and a little Horseradish or Siracha Sauce (very Easy).  Anyway...Now that I have you salivating here's the Recipe:

Coconut Fried Shrimp

Frozen WILD shrimp (21-25 Count Size)
1 Egg
Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
Sriracha Sauce (optional)

1.  Use Wild Shrimp rather than farm raised (Farm Raised usually have antibiotics and other nasty things).  I have found them at Trader Joe's and even Grocery Outlet). No need to thaw the shrimp first.

2. Preheat the Air-fryer to 350 - 400 degrees.  Take as many shrimp as you want to use out of the bag.  Close up the bag and put the rest of the shrimp back in the Freezer.  Put the shrimp in a strainer and run cold water over them to start to thaw them.

3.  Beat the egg and sriracha (if using) in a bowl.  Dump all you shrimp in the bowl and mix them around until all the shrimp are fully covered with the egg mixture (this is what will make the coconut stick.)

4.  Put your coconut into a large Ziploc bag.  If the shreds are large you can pulse them a couple of times in a food processor to make them smaller, but I do like to see the coconut shreds on the shrimp, rather than a powdered coating.  Remove a shrimp from the egg mixture, put in the bag and  shake.  Remove the shrimp and put on a plate or piece of parchment paper.  Continue with the rest of the shrimp.

5.  Place the shrimp in the air fryer basket and "fry" for 5 minutes.  Now check, are the shrimp a toasty golden brown?  If so flip if not, cook 2 minutes more.  Now cook on the other side 3 minutes, check are then Brown?  If not cook another 1 to 2 minutes, until they are golden brown.  Now serve and enjoy!!
