A delicious island-inspired classic, with a little Southern flair. Keto-friendly and you’d never even know it.u0026nbsp;
Ingredients:
For the Shrimp
- 2 lbs large shrimp peeled, deveined, tails removed
- 1 cup coconut flour
- 1 cup coconut flakes unsweetened
- 1 cup coconut oil
- 4 whole eggs
- 1 tbsp salt
- 2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
For the Creole Cocktail Sauce
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp keto ketchup
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp coconut vinegar white wine works also
- 1-2 tsp Crystal hot sauce
- 1 tbsp horseradish
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
Directions:
- Make the Creole cocktail sauce by whisking together all of the ingredients listed for it. Set aside.
- In a deep frying pan, add 1 cup of coconut oil and put it on medium heat, bringing it to approximately 375 degrees.u0026nbsp;
- In a bowl, combine the coconut flour with the salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder. Mix together with a fork.
- Crack the eggs into a separate bowl and beat with a fork. Put the coconut flakes into a 3rd bowl.
- When the oil is ready for frying, prepare and fry the shrimp in small batches to prevent overcrowding. First dredge the shrimp in the seasoned flour, then coat with the egg, then the coconut flakes. Fry on each side for 45-60 seconds until golden brown. u0026nbsp;
- Cool on a drying rack so air can move around the shrimp and steam can escape. Serve warm with the cocktail sauce.u0026nbsp;
I’m adding this to my recipes to try. Keep the keto recipes coming!
You have two 5 star reviews from readers who haven’t made the recipe. ????
So awesome that you are posting Keto recipes!! I have always enjoyed reading Chris’ recipes and now can actually try some of them!!
Do you think this would work if you pan fry rather than deep fry? I don’t have a deep fryer. Thanks!!
I did a shallow pan fry myself, so you should be just fine. :)
Looks great! Cant wait to try it.
If you ever need recipe inspiration, Elena’s Pantry is a wonderful resource for Keto and Paleo (and others). Check out her bio to understand the health issues she has successfully managed through this lifestyle change. It’s pretty amazing what one can do by modifying food intake and lifestyle! https://elanaspantry.com
If it’s not to personal, would love to see a post on what has helped you manage Hashimotos. My Mother has it, and I’m in the process of being diagnosed “for something” with similar markers. The tests and waiting are exhausting. I’m trying to learn as much as I can to help my Mother manage her situation (she’s in her late 60s and LOVES bread…) and apply to my own diet and lifestyle as well.
Oh, https://nomnompaleo.com/ and https://wellnessmama.com/ are great resources, too!
