Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp tails
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 Egg
- 4 Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the shrimp tails under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels to ensure they are moisture-free.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg until it is well beaten.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper, mixing thoroughly.
Step 4
Dip each shrimp tail into the egg mixture, ensuring it is completely coated.
Step 5
Then, dredge the egg-coated shrimp tails in the seasoned almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure it sticks and forms a good coating.
Step 6
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking.
Step 7
Carefully place the coated shrimp tails in the skillet in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to cook them in batches.
Step 8
Pan-fry the shrimp tails for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and the shrimp inside is opaque and tender.
Step 9
Remove the cooked shrimp tails from the skillet and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 10
Serve the paleo pan-fried shrimp tails hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over before eating.
