Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 large organic egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup avocado oil
Instructions
Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails on for easier handling if desired.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, shredded coconut, garlic powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
Dredge each shrimp in the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it thoroughly in the flour-coconut mixture. Press gently to ensure the mixture adheres to the shrimp.
Set aside and repeat the process for all shrimp.
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot (but not smoking), carefully add the shrimp in a single layer without overcrowding the skillet.
Cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the coating is golden brown and the shrimp are cooked through.
Remove the shrimp from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve immediately with your choice of Paleo-friendly dipping sauce or serve over a fresh salad for a complete meal.
