Ingredients

• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 0.5 cup coconut flour
• 0.5 cup coconut milk
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup avocado oil
• 2 tablespoons Whole30 compliant hot sauce
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, whisk together the coconut milk and egg until fully combined.

Step 2

In a separate shallow dish, combine the coconut flour, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Dip each shrimp into the coconut milk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge in the coconut flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the avocado oil. Once hot, add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the shrimp is pink and the coating is golden brown and crisp. Remove from skillet and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the Whole30 compliant hot sauce with lime juice.

Step 6

Drizzle the hot sauce mixture over the cooked shrimp or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce.
