- Dip shrimp in flour to coat lightly, shaking off any excess. Dip in egg white mixture, then in coconut mixture, patting to help coating adhere.
- Spray Air Fry Basket with nonstick cooking spray. Working in batches, place shrimp in a single layer in Air Fry Basket. Cook 8 min. until coconut is lightly browned and shrimp turn pink and opaque.
- While cooking, combine all sauce ingredients in a small saucepan. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until preserves melt. Serve shrimp immediately with sauce.
