Ingredients

• 12 pieces large prawns, peeled and deveined
• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup coconut oil or avocado oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a shallow dish, mix together almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

In another small bowl, whisk the egg and heavy cream together until well combined.

Step 3

Dip each prawn into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat with the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Add the coated prawns in a single layer and cook on each side for 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove the prawns from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 6

In another small pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 7

Stir in lemon juice and parsley, then pour the garlic butter into a small serving dish.

Step 8

Serve the crispy prawns hot with the garlic butter dip on the side.
