Ingredients
- 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 0.5 cup avocado oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, parmesan cheese, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Step 2
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 3
Dip each shrimp into the egg mixture, ensuring it's completely coated, then dredge it in the almond flour mixture, pressing the coating onto the shrimp gently to adhere.
Step 4
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Test the oil by dropping a small pinch of the almond flour mixture into the oil; if it sizzles, the oil is ready.
Step 5
Carefully place a few of the coated shrimp into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each batch for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 6
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried shrimp from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 7
Continue this process until all shrimp are cooked.
Step 8
Serve the keto fried popcorn shrimp immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
