Directions
Step 1
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until they are well combined.

Dip each shrimp into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.

Then, coat each shrimp thoroughly in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating sticks.

Once the oil shimmers, add shrimp in batches (do not overcrowd the pan) and fry each side for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
