- 3 Tablespoons of coconut flour (21 g)
- 1 medium egg (44 g), whisked
- 1/2 cup of coconut flakes (32 g)
- 7oz of raw peeled shrimp (196 g)
- oil, for frying
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- lime wedges, to serve
Instructions
- Line a tray or plate with paper towels. Set aside.
- Prepare three bowls. Put the coconut flour in one bowl, the whisked egg in the second, and the coconut flakes in the last.
- Toss all the shrimp in the coconut flour. One at a time, take a shrimp and dip in the egg, allowing the excess to run off. Then dip the shrimp in the coconut, pressing the coconut into the shrimp firmly.
- Heat enough oil to deep fry the shrimp. Once hot, fry the shrimp for a minute or two then remove with a slotted spoon and place on your tray or plate.
