Nothing says tropical paradise like a batch of coconut shrimp. Paired with a tangy aioli, these are just as good as the non-keto version, if not better.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE COCONUT SHRIMP:

  • Oil for frying

  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened flaked coconut

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut milk

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise

  • 2 eggs yolks

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

  • 2 tbsp chili sauce, such as Huy Fong Foods brand

  • 2 tsp freshly squeezed lime juice

Directions

  • TO MAKE THE COCONUT SHRIMP: In a large pot, heat 2 inches of oil to 350°F for deep-frying.
