Ingredients

• 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 0.5 cup almond flour
• 0.5 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 large egg
• 0.25 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons sugar-free sweet chili sauce
• 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 0 olive oil spray
• 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with olive oil.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat the egg until well combined.

Step 4

Dip each shrimp first into the beaten egg, then coat with the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the coating. Place the coated shrimp on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Lightly spray the top of the shrimp with olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the shrimp are cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crisp.

Step 7

While the shrimp are baking, prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sugar-free sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice until smooth and well combined.

Step 8

Once the shrimp are baked, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.

Step 9

Toss the shrimp in the sauce until they are well coated. Alternatively, serve the sauce on the side for dipping.

Step 10

Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately.
