Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp and Coating

  • 1 lb Raw Shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/3 cup Almond Flour
  • 1/3 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • ¼ tsp Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 Egg, beaten
  • 2 tbsp Avocado Oil

Bang Bang Sauce

  • 1/3 cup Mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp Sriracha
  • 1 tbsp Coconut Aminos or Soy Sauce
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • ¼ tsp Black Pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Shrimp Station: Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. In a medium bowl, mix almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and black pepper until well combined. In a separate bowl, beat the egg thoroughly.
  2. Bread The Shrimp: Dip each shrimp into the beaten egg, then dredge it in the almond flour and Parmesan mixture to coat evenly. Repeat until all shrimp are coated.
  3. Fry The Shrimp: Heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
  4. Assemble Bang Bang Sauce: In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, Sriracha, coconut aminos or soy sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir until the sauce is smooth and well mixed.
  5. Combine Sauce and Shrimp: Either drizzle the bang bang sauce over the fried shrimp or toss the shrimp in the sauce until fully coated. Serve immediately over rice, a green salad, or in lettuce wraps.
  6. Air Fryer Instructions (Optional): Grease your air fryer basket (such as a Ninja Foodi) with oil. Place the coated shrimp in the basket and air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 5-6 minutes. Flip the shrimp and continue cooking for an additional 5-6 minutes or until pink and cooked through.
  7. Oven Baked Instructions (Optional): Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking sheet and place the coated shrimp on it. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the shrimp are pink and fully cooked.

Notes

  • Ensure shrimp are thoroughly dried before coating to help the breading stick better.
  • Adjust Sriracha quantity in the sauce to control spiciness to your preference.
  • Avocado oil is recommended for frying due to its high smoke point and health benefits, but other oils can be used.
  • Keto-friendly and low-carb by using almond flour and skipping rice or replacing with cauliflower rice.
  • If using air fryer or oven methods, shrimp will be less oily but still crispy.
  • Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
