Ingredients
- 12 pieces jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup celery, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup parsley, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 medium lemon, juiced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Butterfly the shrimp by making a shallow incision along the back of each one, being careful not to cut all the way through. This will create a pocket for the stuffing.
Step 3
In a medium-sized skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the onion, red bell pepper, celery, and garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the almond flour, parsley, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined to form the stuffing mixture.
Step 6
Take a teaspoon of the vegetable stuffing and gently press it into the pocket of each butterflied shrimp.
Step 7
Place the stuffed shrimp on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased with olive oil.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through.
Step 9
Remove from the oven, transfer to a serving platter, and garnish with additional parsley and lemon wedges if desired.
Step 10
Serve immediately, enjoying your Whole30 compliant stuffed shrimp!
