Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup olive oil or avocado oil, for frying
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
In another bowl, beat the eggs lightly.
Dip each shrimp into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip back into the bowl.
Coat the egg-dipped shrimp with the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the breading to all sides of the shrimp.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the breaded shrimp in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked shrimp to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the crispy breaded shrimp immediately as a main dish or appetizer, paired with your favorite keto-friendly dipping sauce.
