Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup avocado oil or olive oil
- 1 for serving lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp, ensuring they are completely dry.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the breading mixture.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly to create an egg wash.
Step 4
Dip each shrimp into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off before coating it thoroughly in the almond flour mixture. Press the flour mixture onto the shrimp to adhere well.
Step 5
Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot but not smoking, add the breaded shrimp in a single layer, without overcrowding. Cook in batches if necessary.
Step 6
Cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until crispy and golden brown. Ensure the shrimp are cooked through and opaque.
Step 7
Remove the shrimp from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the crispy breaded shrimp warm with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over top before eating.
