Preheat the air fryer to 360°F. When heated, spray the air basket with cooking spray.
Combine the flour, salt and pepper in one bowl. Whisk the eggs in a second bowl. Then combine the shredded coconut and panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
Dip the shrimp into the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Then dredge the shrimp into the eggs, and finally into the coconut panko mixture, gently pressing to adhere.
Place shrimp in a single layer on greased tray in air-fryer basket. Cook 6 minutes. Turn shrimp; cook until coconut is lightly browned and shrimp turn pink, about 6 minutes longer.
Meanwhile, combine sauce ingredients in a small saucepan, cook and stir over medium-low heat until preserves are melted. Serve shrimp immediately with sauce, if desired.
