For Shrimp:
- 1 lb jumbo shrimp tails on
- 1 cup breadcrumbs

Cooked the Shrimp in this AirFryer
For Spicy Mango Dipping Sauce:
- 1 mango cubed
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp sriracha
- 1/4 tsp curry powder

Directions:
- Make the dipping sauce first by adding all the ingredients to a blender and blend for 1 minute or 2 until the sauce is smooth. Refrigerate the sauce until shrimp is ready for serving.

- Dredge the shrimp through the breadcrumbs first, then dip them in the egg mixture, then finally dredge them through the coconut, making sure enough coconut sticks to them.
