An Appetizer Even Your NON-Paleo Friends May Like


Appetizer - Paleo Coconut Shrimp


Take this to your Super Bowl Party - it is sure to be a hit!



  • 12-15 thawed, peeled & deveined shrimp

  • 1 egg

  • 1/2 tsp iodized sea salt

  • 1/2 tsp paprika

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/2 cup almond flour

  • 1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

  • 3 TBSP coconut oil

After shrimp is thawed, peeled & deveined rinse with water and pat dry with paper towels and set aside. Mix 1 egg and spices together in a small bowl until blended. Mix almond flour and shredded coconut together and place on a plate. Now, set up your dredging station like this: shrimp, bowl with egg/spice mixture, plate with flour/coconut mixture, empty plate for coated shrimp.


Use left hand to dip shrimp into wet mixture. Transfer to right hand to dredge wet shrimp into dry ingredients. Place on a plate. Let coated shrimp set for 10 minutes.


Meanwhile, place coconut oil into pan on medium high heat. Heat shrimp in pan for 2-3 minutes on one side. Turn and heat another 2-3 minutes. Let shrimp set for 5 minutes before serving to allow coating to stick to shrimp. Double or triple this recipe for Sunday's game.
