Keto Popcorn Shrimp

10 ratings

Who wouldn’t want to pop a deliciously crispy popcorn shrimp into their mouth? These little guys are coated in a crispy parmesan crust that turn a perfect golden brown in the oven. You can serve with cocktail sauce, tartar sauce, or even some spicy mayo.

Recipe Steps

55 min

  • Step 1

    Preheat an oven to 400 degrees and line a sheet tray with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Set up your breading for the popcorn shrimp by placing up ½ cup of almond flour in a ziploc bag (you may need more almond flour than what is listed in the ingredients). Additionally, whisk together 1 egg in a small bowl, and set aside shredded parmesan in another clean bowl.
    Step 1
  • Step 2

    Prep your shrimp by peeling and deveining them (you can leave the tails on if you wish) and setting the shrimp on a paper towel to remove excess water. Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the shrimp.
    Step 2
  • Step 3

    Place all the shrimp in the ziploc bag with the almond flour. Seal the bag and shake until your shrimp are coated in flour.
    Step 3
  • Step 4

    One by one, remove each shrimp from the bag and coat them in the egg. Allow excess egg to drip off before coating in parmesan cheese and then setting all the shrimp on your sheet tray.
    Step 4
  • Step 5

    Bake the shrimp for about 35 minutes, flipping them when there are 10 minutes of baking left. Enjoy!

    Why would you cook it 35 minutes… they would be like eating rubber

      You only need to broil and the shrimp will cook and the breading will crisp. So good!

        Very tasty but no way should be cooked that long, unless you like your shrimp chewy!

          This was so good! I was surprised it came out so crisp from baking in the oven. This is a favorite recipe of the family now and they are picky. Thank you!

            Can you dip in coconut flakes vs. shredded Parmesan cheese?

              What would the cook time and temp need to be adjusted to if cooking in an air fryer?

                Start at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. You may need to rotate and cook longer as needed.

                Can coconut flour be used instead?

                  Yes, but please note this may increase your carbs slightly.

                Can you use precooked shrimp?

                  If you use pre-cooked then it's going to be way overdone by the time it's cooked.

                  You could, but your shrimp may get a little tough since they are cooked twice. Hope this helps!

                  Please preheat your oven to 400 degrees, as stated in the first step.
