Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Large shrimp
- 1 pound, peeled and deveined
- Egg
- 1, beaten
- Coconut flour
- 1/4 cup
- Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup
- Coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons, melted
- Paprika
- 1 teaspoon
- Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons
- Mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup
- Honey or sugar substitute
- 1 teaspoon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- In a shallow bowl, combine the coconut flour, shredded coconut, salt, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well until the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Dip each shrimp into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off, then roll it in the coconut mixture, gently pressing to ensure an even coating.
- Arrange the coated shrimp on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow for even cooking.
- Drizzle the melted coconut oil over the shrimp, ensuring each piece is well-coated for that perfect crispiness.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the shrimp are golden brown and crispy, turning them halfway through the cooking time for optimal results.
- While the shrimp is baking, prepare the zesty lime dipping sauce by mixing the mayonnaise, lime juice, and honey or sugar substitute (if using) in a small bowl until smooth and well-combined.
- Once the shrimp are done, remove them from the oven and serve hot alongside the zesty lime dipping sauce.
