Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 0.5 cup coconut oil, for frying
- 4 pieces lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until they are well combined.
Dip each shrimp into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
Then, coat each shrimp thoroughly in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating sticks.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil shimmers, add shrimp in batches (do not overcrowd the pan) and fry each side for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the shrimp with a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Serve the crispy fried shrimp hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over.
