Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Coating: In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Prepare the Shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This helps the coating adhere better.
- Set Up the Breading Station: In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs. This will be your egg wash.
- Coat the Shrimp: Dip each shrimp into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Then coat the shrimp with the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating sticks well.
- Arrange the Shrimp: Place the coated shrimp on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle or brush the tops with olive oil or melted butter to promote crispiness.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the shrimp are opaque and the coating is golden brown and crispy. If needed, you can broil for an additional 1-2 minutes for extra crispiness, but watch closely to avoid burning.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let the shrimp cool slightly. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or over a salad.
Tips:
- Adjust Spices: Feel free to adjust the spices to your taste or add a bit of your favorite herbs.
- Make Ahead: You can bread the shrimp ahead of time and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before baking.
- Sauce Ideas: Try serving with a low-carb cocktail sauce or a spicy aioli for added flavor.
Enjoy your crispy, low-carb shrimp
