Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup coconut flour
- 2 large egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- coconut oil spray
- 1 fresh lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
In a bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until fully blended.
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Dip each shrimp into the egg mixture, ensuring it's completely coated.
Then, dredge the shrimp in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the coating.
Repeat with all the shrimp and place them in a single layer on a plate or baking sheet.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with coconut oil spray to prevent sticking.
Arrange the shrimp in a single layer in the basket of the air fryer. Do not overcrowd the basket; fry in batches if necessary.
Lightly spray the top of the shrimp with coconut oil spray.
Cook the shrimp in the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3-5 minutes or until the shrimp are cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy.
Once done, remove the shrimp and repeat for any remaining batches.
Serve the crispy shrimp immediately with fresh lemon wedges on the side.
