In a bowl, beat the eggs. In a separate bowl, combine the coconut flakes with the bread crumbs. In a third bowl, add the flour, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Dip the shrimp in the flour, shake off excess, then the egg mixture, and then in the coconut and panko mixture, pressing firmly for it to stick. Repeat the process.
Grease the air fryer basket, then add the coconut shrimp to it, ensuring that they are not touching one another.
Air fry for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Once the shrimp are golden brown, remove them from the air fryer basket and serve immediately.
