Okay, so I’ve been seeing all this hype about air fryers, and you know I gotta jump on the bandwagon. So, I headed to Trader Joe’s, ’cause where else, right? I grabbed a bag of their coconut shrimp from the frozen section. I’ve heard good things, and I’m all about that crispy, crunchy life.
I got home, opened the bag, and dumped those little guys into the air fryer basket. No preheating was needed according to the instruction, I just put them in. I set the temperature to 400 degrees, as the package suggested. And then, I waited. It felt like forever, but it was only about 8 minutes.
When the timer dinged, I opened up the air fryer, and boom, golden-brown deliciousness! They looked super crispy. I took them out, and they really did have a nice crunch to them. They smelled pretty good too. Like, that sweet coconut smell mixed with the savory shrimp.

- First step, grab the coconut shrimp from Trader Joe’s.
- Next, dump them in the air fryer, and set to 400 degrees for 8 minutes.
- Finally, enjoy the crispy goodness!
They’re definitely tasty. Not gonna lie, I ate the whole bag. No shame in my game. It’s a solid snack, or even a meal if you’re feeling lazy like I was.
I can see why people love this thing. It is so easy! And fast, no need to wait for the oven to heat up. Clean up was also easy.
Tips for the Best Air Fryer Coconut Shrimp
- Don’t overcrowd the basket. Give those shrimp some space to get crispy.
- Shake the basket halfway through. It helps with even cooking.
- Serve them up with some dipping sauce. I didn’t, but I bet it would be good.
Anyway, if you’re looking for a quick and easy snack, you should try the Trader Joe’s coconut shrimp in your air fryer. You won’t regret it. Well, maybe you’ll regret eating the whole bag, but hey, it’s worth it.
