Provided by Brandi Crawford

Categories     dinner     lunch

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound jumbo shrimp or prawns (peeled and deveined)
1/3 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
3/4 -1 cup blanched almond flour
salt and pepper to taste
seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay) to taste
2 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Get the recipe for the Keto Sugar-Free Cocktail Sauce here.
  • Combine the almond flour, parmesan cheese, seafood seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl large enough to dredge the shrimp.
  • Place the beaten eggs in another bowl.
  • Dredge the shrimp in the eggs and then the almond flour mixture. Keep a moist towel nearby to wipe your hands as needed. If your hands are really sticky it will be difficult to keep the breading on the remaining shrimp.
  • Heat a skillet on medium-high heat. When hot, add the olive oil and butter. Allow the butter to melt and add the shrimp.
  • Once you have added the shrimp, try not to move them around much until a crust forms on the bottom of the shrimp. If you move them, you may lose some of the breading.
  • Once a crust forms on the bottom of the shrimp and the breading is golden brown, flip the shrimp. This should take about 3-4 minutes. It could be less depending on the size of your shrimp. Monitor the shrimp closely.
  • Fry the other side of the shrimp for a couple of minutes.
  • Remove the shrimp from the pan. Cool before serving.
