Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 large organic egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup avocado oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails on for easier handling if desired.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, shredded coconut, garlic powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In another bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
Step 4
Dredge each shrimp in the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it thoroughly in the flour-coconut mixture. Press gently to ensure the mixture adheres to the shrimp.
Step 5
Set aside and repeat the process for all shrimp.
Step 6
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 7
Once the oil is hot (but not smoking), carefully add the shrimp in a single layer without overcrowding the skillet.
Step 8
Cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the coating is golden brown and the shrimp are cooked through.
Step 9
Remove the shrimp from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 10
Serve immediately with your choice of Paleo-friendly dipping sauce or serve over a fresh salad for a complete meal.
