Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup olive oil or avocado oil, for frying
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Step 3
In another bowl, beat the eggs lightly.
Step 4
Dip each shrimp into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip back into the bowl.
Step 5
Coat the egg-dipped shrimp with the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the breading to all sides of the shrimp.
Step 6
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 7
Once the oil is hot, add the breaded shrimp in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 8
Fry the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Transfer the cooked shrimp to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 10
Serve the crispy breaded shrimp immediately as a main dish or appetizer, paired with your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce.
