Keto Air Fryer Shrimp
Keto Air Fryer shrimp are so crunchy and delicious. I dip it in my homemade keto sweet chili sauce to top it. The Shrimp is Keto and Paleo.
Ingredients
Shrimp
- ⅕ lbs uncooked shrimp peeled and deveined

Instructions
Air Fryer Shrimp
- Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees.
- In a medium bowl, add the almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, parsley, and salt/pepper and mix together.
- In a small bowl, add the beaten egg.
- Dip each shrimp into the egg and then the flour mixture. Place on a plate until shrimp are completely coated.
- Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray and add the shrimp where they won't touch (you may have to cook in two batches).
- Spray the top of the shrimp with cooking spray and set the air fryer to 380°F and cook for 9-10 minutes, making sure to flip the shrimp halfway through. Once the shrimp are flipped, spray them with another round of cooking spray.
Sweet Chili Sauce
- In a small saucepan, add all sauce ingredients except for the xanthan gum.
- Heat over medium/high heat and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the xanthan gum, stirring to combine.
- Add to a jar and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Notes
- I usually use a two-step process to package my shrimp. However, if you want a thicker coating, feel free to double-dip the shrimp. Dip the shrimp into the egg, then the flour mixture, and repeat.
- Nutrition counts without Sauce. It is for shrimp only.
