Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

½ cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper
2 large eggs
⅔ cup unsweetened flaked coconut
⅓ cup panko bread crumbs
12 ounces uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
cooking spray
½ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
¼ cup honey
¼ cup lime juice
1 serrano chile, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Gather the ingredients.
Stir together flour and pepper in a shallow dish. Lightly beat eggs in a second shallow dish. Stir together coconut and panko in a third shallow dish.
Working one at a time, dredge shrimp in flour mixture; shake off excess. Dip floured shrimp in egg; allow any excess to drip off. Finally, dredge in coconut mixture, pressing to adhere. Place shrimp on a plate. Coat shrimp well with cooking spray.
Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place 1/2 of the shrimp in the air fryer and cook about 3 minutes. Turn shrimp over and continue cooking until golden, about 3 minutes more. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
Meanwhile, whisk together honey, lime juice, and serrano chile in a small bowl.
Sprinkle fried shrimp with cilantro and serve with honey-lime dip.

Tsao Mi Fun (Taiwanese Fried Rice Noodles)

My mom's been making me tsao mi fun, in Mandarin, or tsa bi whun, in Taiwanese, since I was a little girl. Tsa bi whun literally translates to 'fried rice noodles'. You'll most likely find all the ingredients at your local supermarket except for the five spice powder, dried Chinese black mushrooms and rice vermicelli which can be found at your local Asian food mart. All the measurements here are pretty much to taste, some people like more pork, some less, some more soy sauce, some less, etc.

A friend who used to work as a chef shared this yummy and oh, so simple recipe with me. You may substitute half-and-half or evaporated milk for the cream to cut some fat.

Pork Chops Al Pastor

These pork chops al pastor are inspired by my favorite taco. Smoky, spicy, tender, and juicy, the chili marinade also serves as a sauce, with a cold, bracing fresh pineapple salsa on the side. They are double-thick, so each one will make 2 servings.
