Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large prawns, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.25 cup arrowroot powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
Instructions
Rinse the prawns under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, shredded coconut, arrowroot powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
Dip each prawn into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
Then coat the prawn in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the prawns in a single layer.
Fry the prawns for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the prawns from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the crispy fried prawns immediately with your favourite Whole30 compliant dipping sauce or over a fresh salad.
