Tips for Making Air Fryer Coconut Shrimp

Dip in your favorite sauce or one made of plain, fat-free Greek yogurt mixed with dill and onion powder and fresh-squeezed lemon juice.
Keep an eye on grocery sale papers, most of the time you can get these shrimp on a BOGO sale, then save the other bag for later.
For easy cleanup, you definitely need to use these parchment papers. They are a lifesaver!
Don’t forget to get an oil spritzer!
