Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 2 large egg
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 cup coconut oil or avocado oil for frying
Directions
Step 1
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to incorporate all the spices evenly.
Step 2
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined.
Step 3
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help the coating adhere better.
Step 4
Dip each shrimp into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, then transfer it to the almond flour mixture. Press the almond flour mixture onto the shrimp to ensure a good coating, then set aside on a plate. Repeat with all the shrimp.
Step 5
In a large skillet, heat the coconut or avocado oil over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 350°F (175°C).
Step 6
Working in batches, add the coated shrimp to the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Using a slotted spoon, remove the shrimp from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the crispy fried shrimp immediately with your choice of dipping sauce or a slice of lemon to squeeze over them.
