1. To make dipping sauce: In blender, combine half of mango cubes with lime juice, ginger, and
¼ tsp salt and process until smooth. Pour into small bowl. Dice remaining mango. Add to purée
along with mint, black pepper, and enough water to give mixture a saucy consistency.
2. On sheet plate, spread cornstarch. In large shallow bowl, beat eggs. On another plate, mix
together coconut, breadcrumbs, and remaining ¾ tsp salt.
3. Over cutting board or work surface, set a wire rack. Dredge shrimp in cornstarch, shaking off
excess, then dip into egg, allowing excess to drip off. Press shrimp into coconut mixture until
evenly coated on both sides. Place on wire rack. Spray shrimp all over with nonstick spray.
4. Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Lightly spray Crisper Tray with nonstick spray. In Crisper Drawer,
arrange 9 shrimp in a single layer. Air-fry until shrimp are golden and crispy, 5 to 6 minutes.
Remove from air fryer and loosely cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat process with remaining
shrimp. Serve with mango sauce and lime wedges.
