Keto Coconut Shrimp

Keto Coconut Shrimp

My coconut shrimp is a great choice for a keto snack. I like the coarse, long shredded coconut. The smaller the shrimp, the faster they will cook. Serve with spicy aioli sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • ¼ cup coconut flour
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 eggs, or more as needed
  • 1 cup macadamia nuts
  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 2 tablespoons ghee, or more to taste
  • 1 pinch sea salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Step 1
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Line a second cookie sheet with several layers of paper towels.

Step 2
Mix coconut flour, onion powder, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Whisk eggs thoroughly in a second bowl.

Step 3
Grind macadamia nuts in a food processor until coarsely chopped. Avoid overmixing or mixture will start to clump. Empty ground nuts into a third bowl; mix in coconut until blended.

Step 4
Place each shrimp in the coconut flour mixture, lightly coating on all sides. Then dip in the egg, and finally in the macadamia-coconut mixture. Place on the parchment-lined cookie sheet; repeat with remaining shrimp.

Step 5
Heat ghee in a large skillet over medium heat until melted; add shrimp. Cook, turning often, adding more ghee as needed, until golden brown and evenly cooked, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side. Drain shrimp on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

Cook’s Notes:

Almond flour may be substituted for coconut flour, if desired.
