Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup avocado oil
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
- 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine coconut flour, almond flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until well blended.
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Dip each shrimp into the beaten eggs, then coat them with the flour mixture. Press lightly to ensure an even coating.
Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the shrimp in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer cooked shrimp to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, rice vinegar, and erythritol until smooth to make the Bang Bang sauce.
In a large bowl, gently toss the fried shrimp with the Bang Bang sauce until they are well coated.
Garnish the shrimp with sliced green onions before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Keto Bang Bang Shrimp!
