Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 units lemon wedges
Instructions
Start by patting the shrimp dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs until they are well beaten.
In another bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot enough that a small dollop of the flour mixture sizzles when added.
Dredge each shrimp in the egg mixture, allowing any excess egg to drip off, then coat the shrimp in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Carefully place the coated shrimp in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the shrimp from the skillet and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the crispy fried shrimp immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
