Instructions:
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
- Prepare Coating Ingredients:
- In a shallow bowl, mix together coconut flour, garlic powder, and paprika until well combined. This will be your dry coating mixture.
- In another shallow bowl, combine almond flour (or almond meal) with unsweetened coconut flakes. Mix them together evenly. This will be your coconut-almond coating mixture.
- Beat the eggs in a third shallow bowl to create the egg wash.
- Coat the Shrimp:
- Take each shrimp and coat it first in the dry flour mixture (coconut flour, garlic powder, paprika), shaking off any excess.
- Dip the coated shrimp into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip off.
- Finally, coat the shrimp thoroughly in the coconut-almond mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet:
- Place each coated shrimp onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, leaving a bit of space between each shrimp.
- Bake:
- Bake the coconut shrimp in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the shrimp are cooked through and the coating is crispy and golden brown. Flip the shrimp halfway through baking for even cooking.
- Serve:
- Once baked, remove the coconut shrimp from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sugar-free sweet chili sauce, avocado aioli, or a creamy garlic dip.
- Enjoy:
- Enjoy these delicious and crispy Coconut Shrimp as a flavorful appetizer or main dish in your keto-friendly meal rotation!
