Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 cup almond flour
2 teaspoons paprika
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 teaspoon onion powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 large eggs
1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
1 cup crushed pork rinds, such as Pork Panko breadcrumbs
3/4 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on
About 1 1/4 cups coconut oil
1/2 cup sweet Asian chili sauce
1/2 cup mayonnaise
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Whisk the almond flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, 1 teaspoon salt and pepper in a wide, shallow bowl. Lightly beat the eggs with a splash of water in a second wide, shallow bowl. Combine the coconut and pork rind breadcrumbs in a third wide, shallow bowl.
  • Sprinkle the shrimp with salt and pepper.
  • Toss the shrimp in the flour mixture to coat them, working one a time. Shake off the excess flour and dip it into the egg wash. Let the excess egg drip off, and then toss the shrimp in the coconut-panko mixture until thoroughly coated. Put the shrimp on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining shrimp.
  • Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot and a piece of shredded coconut dropped into it sizzles immediately. Add about half of the shrimp, making sure the skillet is not too crowded, and pan-fry, turning once, until the shrimp are cooked through and golden brown all over, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and sprinkle with salt. Repeat with the remaining shrimp.
  • Combine the Asian chili sauce with the mayonnaise in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Squeeze half of a lemon over the hot shrimp and serve with the dipping sauce and lemon wedges on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of chili peppers: Different types of chili peppers have different levels of heat, so choose the one that best suits your taste. You can use a single type of chili pepper or a combination of different types.
  • Toast the chili peppers before using them: This will help to bring out their flavor and make them more aromatic.
  • Use a variety of spices to add flavor to the sauce: Common spices used in chili sauce include cumin, coriander, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. You can also add other spices that you like, such as oregano, thyme, or cayenne pepper.
  • Simmer the sauce for a long time to allow the flavors to develop: The longer you simmer the sauce, the better it will taste. However, be careful not to overcook the sauce, as this can make it bitter.
  • Adjust the consistency of the sauce to your liking: If you want a thicker sauce, you can add a cornstarch slurry or a roux. If you want a thinner sauce, you can add water or broth.
  • Taste the sauce as you cook it and adjust the seasonings as needed: The best way to get the perfect flavor is to taste the sauce as you cook it and make adjustments as needed.
