Ingredients
-
⅓ cup granulated sugar
-
⅓ cup rice vinegar
-
2 tablespoons chile-garlic sauce
-
½ cup water plus 2 tablespoons, divided
-
1 teaspoon salt, divided
-
1 tablespoon cornstarch
-
½ cup all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
2 large egg whites
-
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
-
½ cup whole-wheat panko breadcrumbs
-
24 large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails left on
-
Cooking spray
Directions
-
Combine sugar, vinegar, chile-garlic sauce, 1/2 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture a boil over high heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced slightly, about 5 minutes. Stir cornstarch and the remaining 2 tablespoons water together in a small bowl. Add to the mixture in the saucepan; cook, stirring occasionally, until bubbling and thickened, about 30 seconds. Remove the sauce from the heat and set aside.
-
Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Combine flour, garlic powder and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a shallow dish. Place egg whites in a separate shallow dish and whisk until frothy. Stir coconut and panko together in a third shallow dish. Dredge shrimp in the flour mixture and then dredge in the egg whites, shaking off excess; dredge in the coconut mixture, pressing to adhere.
-
Arrange half the shrimp in an even layer in the fryer basket; coat the shrimp well with cooking spray. Cook until crispy and golden, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Repeat the procedure with the remaining shrimp. Serve with the sauce.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
