- 0.5 cup Unsweetened coconut flakes
- 0.5 cup Macadamia nuts, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup Almond flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Coconut milk

Instructions
In a shallow bowl, combine the unsweetened coconut flakes and chopped macadamia nuts. Mix well.
In another shallow bowl, mix almond flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
In a third bowl, beat the eggs and add the coconut milk, whisking until fully combined.
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Dredge each shrimp in the almond flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Dip the shrimp into the beaten egg mixture, followed by coating it in the coconut-macadamia mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Working in batches, add the shrimp to the skillet, frying until golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the shrimp to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the shrimp hot with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
