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

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. In a shallow bowl, combine the coconut flour, shredded coconut, salt, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well until the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. 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.
  4. Arrange the coated shrimp on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow for even cooking.
  5. Drizzle the melted coconut oil over the shrimp, ensuring each piece is well-coated for that perfect crispiness.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the shrimp are golden brown and crispy, turning them halfway through the cooking time for optimal results.
  7. 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.
  8. Once the shrimp are done, remove them from the oven and serve hot alongside the zesty lime dipping sauce.
