Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat 8 oz shrimp dry with paper towels. Mix 3 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut, 2 tbsp almond flour, 1/4 tsp sea salt, and 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper in a shallow bowl.
  2. Step 2: Dip each shrimp in 1 tbsp olive oil, then coat completely in the coconut-almond mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Step 3: Bake at 400°F for 10-12 minutes until shrimp turn opaque and edges are golden. Squeeze juice from 1 lime over the top immediately before serving to enhance flavor and aid digestion.
