Ingredients

• 16 pieces large shrimp, peeled and deveined, with tail on
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 cup green bell pepper, finely diced
• 0.5 cup red onion, finely diced
• 0.25 cup almond flour
• 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 4 pieces lemon wedges, for serving

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Carefully butterfly the shrimp by slicing down the back from head to tail without cutting all the way through. Flatten them out slightly to prepare for stuffing.

Step 3

In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Step 4

Add the diced green bell pepper and red onion to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the mixture to a bowl.

Step 6

Add the almond flour, coconut aminos, lemon zest, chopped parsley, black pepper, sea salt, and paprika to the bowl. Mix well to combine.

Step 7

Place the butterflied shrimp on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 8

Using a spoon, fill each shrimp with a small amount of the stuffing mixture, pressing down gently to secure it.

Step 9

Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the stuffed shrimp.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through.

Step 11

Serve the Paleo Delicious Stuffed Shrimp with lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy your meal!
