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.
