Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 0.5 cup coconut flour
- 0.5 cup coconut milk
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup avocado oil
- 2 tablespoons Whole30 compliant hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice

Instructions
In a bowl, whisk together the coconut milk and egg until fully combined.
In a separate shallow dish, combine the coconut flour, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Dip each shrimp into the coconut milk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge in the coconut flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the avocado oil. Once hot, add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the shrimp is pink and the coating is golden brown and crisp. Remove from skillet and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
In a small bowl, mix the Whole30 compliant hot sauce with lime juice.
Drizzle the hot sauce mixture over the cooked shrimp or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce.
Garnish with chopped green onions and fresh cilantro before serving.
