Servings 6
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds jumbo shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails on
- ½ batch Hot Honey Sauce
- ½ cup super fine almond powder
- ½ cup pork panko, or ground pork rinds
- ½ cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 whole eggs, beaten
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- Olive oil, for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Hot Honey Sauce per the directions, then set it aside to allow the flavors to meld while you make the shrimp.
- Add the almond flour, pork panko, parmesan cheese and smoked paprika to a mixing bowl. Then whisk to combine.
- In another bowl, add in the beaten eggs. Dip each piece of shrimp into the eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Then dip into the breading mixture and place on a plate until all the shrimp has been breaded.
- Heat a large skillet to medium and add in the olive oil. You can add as little or as much as you’d like, I preferred to add enough so the shrimp are sitting in the oil halfway up the sides.
- Once the oil is hot enough (test with a tiny piece of the breading), fry the shrimp for just a couple of minutes on each side. They cook quickly, so be sure not to overcook them or they will be tough.
- Set them aside on paper towels to drain until all the shrimp has been fried.
- At this point, you can serve them one of 3 ways. You can serve the shrimp as is, with the hot honey sauce on the side. You can brush a light coating of the sauce on the shrimp and serve the rest of the sauce on the side for dipping. Or you can dip each shrimp in the sauce, then serve. It’s entirely up to you, depending on how much sauce you like on your shrimp.
