Crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and built entirely from grain-free coconut and almond flour, this keto coconut shrimp delivers all the tropical crunch of the takeout favorite for a fraction of the carbs. Bake or air fry it for an easy weeknight dinner or a crowd-pleasing appetizer.

Instructions

Pat the shrimp completely dry with paper towels. Preheat the oven to 425°F (or air fryer to 400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment.

Set up three shallow bowls: coconut flour in the first; beaten eggs in the second; and almond flour, shredded coconut, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper combined in the third.

Working one at a time, dredge each shrimp in coconut flour, dip in egg, then press firmly into the coconut-almond mixture to coat fully. Place on the prepared sheet.

Lightly spray or brush the coated shrimp with avocado oil on both sides to help them brown.

Bake for 12-15 minutes (or air fry 8-10 minutes), flipping halfway, until the coating is golden and crisp and the shrimp are opaque and cooked through.

Serve hot with a sugar-free dipping sauce, lemon wedges, or a side salad.

Tips & notes

Drying the shrimp thoroughly is key to a crisp coating — excess moisture makes the coconut soggy.

Pair with a quick keto dip: mix mayo with a little dijon, lime juice, and a pinch of monk fruit sweetener for a tangy, sweet-savory sauce.

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days; reheat in the air fryer or oven (not the microwave) to bring back the crunch.
