Ingredients

• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 cup almond flour
• 2 tablespoons coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
• 0.5 cup hot sauce
• 2 tablespoons ghee
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

Step 3

Rinse the shrimp and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 4

Dredge each shrimp in the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 5

Arrange the shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Drizzle the melted coconut oil over the shrimp to help them crisp up.

Step 7

Bake the shrimp in the preheated oven for around 8-10 minutes or until they turn pink and opaque, flipping halfway through cooking.

Step 8

While the shrimp are baking, prepare the buffalo sauce by combining hot sauce, ghee, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk until the ghee has melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 9

Once the shrimp are done, remove them from the oven and toss them in the buffalo sauce until they are well coated.

Step 10

Serve immediately as an appetizer or a main dish, paired with fresh celery sticks and a paleo-friendly dipping sauce, if desired.
