5. Coconut Shrimp
You will need:
1lb. Shrimp (tail-on, defrosted, peeled, and deveined)
2 eggs
1¼ cup (shredded coconut)
½ cup almond flour
¼ cup almond flour
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp garlic powder
Salt and black pepper powder, to taste
Avocado oil
How to make:
Preheat the oven to 300°F (148°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
Put defrosted shrimps on a tissue-lined plate and pat them dry using paper towels. Set the plate aside to let the shrimp dry.
Combine half a cup of almond flour, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Mix well and set the bowl aside.
In another bowl, mix shredded coconut and one-fourth cup of almond flour. Mix well and set the bowl aside.
Dip each shrimp one by one into each mixture and coat them evenly. Put the shrimp on the baking sheet and place the sheet into the oven.
Bake the shrimp for 20 minutes until their top turns golden. Take the baking sheet out of the oven and flip the shrimp.
Put the baking sheet back into the oven and bake the shrimp for an additional 20 minutes.
Once done, transfer the shrimp to a plate and serve with a dip or sauce of your choice.
6. Almond And Flaxseeds Breadsticks With Dip
You will need:
1 cup almond flour
1 cup water (lukewarm)
¾ cup flax meal
¼ cup coconut flour
4 tbsp Parmesan (grated)
2 tbsp psyllium huski powder
2 tbsp chia seeds (powdered)
2 tsp Sea salt
2 egg yolks (for brushing)
How to make:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, flaxseeds flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk, chia seeds powder, and salt. Mix well using a fork.
Pour in lukewarm water and mix the ingredients using your hands until they combine into a dough. Set the bowl aside to let the dough rest for up to an hour.
Divide the dough quarters and then re-divide each quarter into five portions. Now, wet your fingers with water and roll and press the dough to make breadsticks that can be about 25 centimeters long.
Place all the breadsticks on the baking sheet and brush them with the egg yolks. Sprinkle over parmesan cheese and salt.
Place the baking sheet into the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the sticks turn brown and crispy.
Take the breadsticks out of the oven and serve with a dip or soup for a quick snack. Store the leftover in an airtight container in the freezer for up to three months.
