Baked Keto Coconut Shrimp Recipes

KETO COCONUT SHRIMP

Steps:

• Begin by preparing all of the ingredients, peel, and devein the shrimp. Make the dipping sauce (or another sauce) by combining all of the ingredients in a bowl.
• Add all of the spices, salt, and pepper to the coconut flour and stir. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs together.
• Preheat the oil in your deep fryer or pot to 350°F.
• Get a plate or platter ready to place the uncooked battered shrimp on. Get another plate or platter ready with a paper towel to place the cooked shrimp on.
• Take a shrimp and dip it into the coconut flour mixture first. Make sure to coat the whole shrimp in the mixture. This will help the eggs stick to the flour.
• Next, take the shrimp and dip it into the eggs and then into the shredded coconut. You can lightly dip the shrimp into the coconut or press lots of shredded coconut onto the shrimp for extra crunch.
• Once you have all of the shrimp ready, place the shrimp into the fryer basket or pot. Only fill the basket halfway to ensure even cooking. Carefully lower the basket into the hot oil. Fry for 3-4 minutes or to light golden color. Do not overcrowd the deep fryer or pot with shrimp. Add shrimp to the deep fryer or pot in batches. When the shrimp is done cooking, use a slotted spoon and gently lift it out of the oil and onto the plate lined with a paper towel. Consume immediately with a dipping sauce.

Steps:

• Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Line a second cookie sheet with several layers of paper towels.
• Mix coconut flour, onion powder, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Whisk eggs thoroughly in a second bowl.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
