Ingredients

  • 1 pound large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 0.25 cup coconut flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 0.5 cup coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon paprika
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 units lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Start by patting the shrimp dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs until they are well beaten.

Step 3

In another bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 4

Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot enough that a small dollop of the flour mixture sizzles when added.

Step 5

Dredge each shrimp in the egg mixture, allowing any excess egg to drip off, then coat the shrimp in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

Step 6

Carefully place the coated shrimp in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 7

Remove the shrimp from the skillet and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 8

Serve the crispy fried shrimp immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
