Keto Coconut Shrimp
Hello friend, welcome to Shrimps Recipe. Today we are going to make Keto Coconut Shrimp.
My coconut shrimp is a great choice for a keto snack. I like the course, long shredded coconut. The smaller the shrimp, the faster they will cook. Serve with spicy aioli sauce.

- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Line a second cookie sheet with several layers of paper towels.
- Mix coconut flour, onion powder, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Whisk eggs thoroughly in a second bowl.
- Grind macadamia nuts in a food processor until coarsely chopped. Avoid over-mixing or mixture will start to clump. Empty ground nuts into a third bowl; mix in coconut until blended.
