Ingredients
Shrimp
- ½ cup coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons Swerve powdered sugar substitute divided
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- ½ cup finely crushed pork rinds
- ½ pound raw shrimp peeled and deveined
- Coconut oil for frying
Sriracha Dipping Sauce
- ¾ cup sugar free mayonnaise
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Swerve powdered sugar substitute
- 2 teaspoons sriracha
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, 1 tablespoon Swerve powdered sugar substitute, salt, and pepper; set aside.
- In another small bowl, beat together the eggs and water; set aside.
- In yet one more small bowl, mix together the unsweetened shredded coconut, crushed pork rinds, and the remaining tablespoon of Swerve powdered sugar substitute.
- Dredge one shrimp in the coconut flour mixture, then dip into the egg mixture. Then dredge the shrimp in the coconut coating, pressing it onto the shrimp so it sticks well. Repeat this process with all of the shrimp.
- In a large skillet, add the oil to 1-inch depth and heat over medium to medium-high heat until a piece of the coconut shrimp sizzles when added to the oil. Fry the shrimp in small batches for about 1 minute per side until golden brown. Remove the shrimp and place on paper towels or a wire cooling rack.
- In a small bowl, mix together the ingredients for the sauce.
- Serve the shrimp hot with the dipping sauce.
Notes
The shrimp can be baked instead of fried by baking at 400°F for about 8-10 minutes, flipping once during baking. They will be much crispier if fried.
You could also prepare the shrimp in the coating and freeze in a single layer to fry or bake later.
