Ingredients

• 16 pieces large sea scallops
• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 large egg
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup coconut oil
• 1 for serving lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the scallops under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and heavy cream together until well combined.

Step 4

Dip each scallop into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge in the almond flour mixture until evenly coated. Place the coated scallops on a plate and repeat with the remaining pieces.

Step 5

In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Step 6

Carefully add the scallops to the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary.

Step 7

Fry the scallops for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Remove the scallops from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Serve the keto battered scallops immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top before eating.
