Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp tails
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 Egg
- 4 Lemon wedges
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp tails under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels to ensure they are moisture-free.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg until it is well beaten.
In another shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper, mixing thoroughly.
Dip each shrimp tail into the egg mixture, ensuring it is completely coated.
Then, dredge the egg-coated shrimp tails in the seasoned almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure it sticks and forms a good coating.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking.
Carefully place the coated shrimp tails in the skillet in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to cook them in batches.
Pan-fry the shrimp tails for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and the shrimp inside is opaque and tender.
Remove the cooked shrimp tails from the skillet and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the paleo pan-fried shrimp tails hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over before eating.
