Preheat the air fryer to 360°F.
For this recipe, you will need to prepare 3 small bowls.
In the first bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper, if using.
In the second bowl, have the lightly beaten eggs.
In the third bowl, combine the flaked coconut and panko breadcrumbs.
Coat the shrimp with the flour mixture (first bowl), shaking off any excess. Then, dip into the eggs (second bowl), and finally, dredge into the coconut-panko mixture (third bowl), pressing gently to coat well.
Place the coconut-coated shrimp in a parchment paper-lined air fryer basket to prevent it from sticking. You can also use an air fryer rack to cook more shrimp at the same time.
Spray the top of the shrimp with some cooking spray.
Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through to be extra crispy.
Garnish with chopped green onions, and serve immediately with sweet chili sauce, if desired.
