Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 120 grams cream cheese, softened
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 60 grams almond flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a small paring knife, carefully butterfly each shrimp by cutting along the outer curve, making sure not to cut all the way through.
In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon zest, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Stuff each butterflied shrimp with a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture, pressing gently to secure it.
In a shallow dish, mix the almond flour and paprika. Roll each shrimp in the almond flour mixture to lightly coat.
Heat the olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the stuffed shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden. Do this in batches if necessary.
Transfer the shrimp to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, until the shrimp are cooked through.
Serve hot, garnished with additional chopped parsley if desired.
