Coconut Shrimp is one of my favorite appetizers (or mains) to order at a restaurant. I love the sweetness of the coconut and the crunchy battered shrimp coating but I know that deep-fried food isn’t exactly friendly to my waistline.
Enter the Philips AirFryer and I get to enjoy the recipe I love without the oil!
The Airfried Coconut Shrimp with Pina Colada Dip is the perfect appetizer for any time of year but perfectly pairs with a cocktail on the deck or a winter evening when you’re dreaming of the Caribbean.
