• 2 large eggs

• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, old bay seasoning, cayenne pepper, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add them to the dry ingredients along with the minced conch, red bell pepper, green onion, jalapeno, and parsley. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

Heat the coconut oil or avocado oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Using a tablespoon, scoop small dollops of the conch mixture and gently drop them into the hot oil.

Step 5

Fry the fritters for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 6

Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 7

Serve the low carb conch fritters hot with a side of low carb dipping sauce of your choice, such as a spicy aioli or lemon garlic butter.
