Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Hot sauce
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, beat the egg until well combined.
Dip each shrimp into the beaten egg, letting the excess drip off, then coat with the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Place the coated shrimp on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the shrimp in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they are pink and cooked through.
While the shrimp are baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the hot sauce and cook until the mixture is heated through.
Once the shrimp are done, toss them gently with the buffalo sauce until well coated.
Serve the keto buffalo shrimp hot, garnished with lemon wedges and chopped parsley if desired.
