Air Fryer Temperature
To cook air fryer frozen coconut shrimp, first, preheat your air fryer to 400F for 5 minutes.

Put the frozen coconut shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Leave space around the shrimps so that they cook evenly.
Cook the shrimp for a total of 8-10 minutes and flip halfway through cooking.
Check the shrimp for doneness after 8 minutes of total cooking time since all air fryers cook evenly.
Remove the shrimp and serve it immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
