Who can say no to crunchy keto coconut shrimp that comes complete with a homemade creamy dipping sauce? This is a mouthwatering dish that you’ll want to dig into as soon as it’s out of the fryer; it’s just that good!

How to Make Keto Coconut Shrimp Dipping Sauce

I usually like to make the homemade dipping sauce first and then set it aside whenever I make this recipe:

Combine the ingredients. Add the mayonnaise, Sriracha hot sauce, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, and a low carb granulated sweetener like Stevia into a bowl and mix to combine.
Season. Season with salt to taste and set aside until ready to use.

How to Make Keto Coconut Shrimp

After making the dipping sauce, you can turn your attention to preparing the coconut shrimp:

Beat the eggs. Add the eggs to a shallow bowl and beat with salt and black pepper before setting to the side.
Prepare the coconut mixture. Add the shredded coconut, coconut flour, Creole seasoning, garlic powder, and salt and black pepper to taste to a separate bowl and mix to combine.
Dredge the shrimp. Dip each piece of shrimp into the egg mixture and then press into the shredded coconut mixture.
Prepare the cooking oil. Pour the frying oil (we recommend using extra virgin olive oil) to a depth of ½ inch into a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat.
Fry. Fry the shrimp in batches until golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes per batch.
Serve. Serve the shrimp along with the homemade dipping sauce.

How to Clean and Peel Shrimp

Before dredging your shrimp, you’ll first want to take a few minutes to properly clean and peel them. If you’re not sure just how exactly to do that, then follow these simple steps:

Hold each shrimp firmly by the tail and gently pull off the legs (pull off the head as well if it’s still attached).
Unwrap and remove the shell.
Use a small knife to make an incision from along the top of the shrimp all the way down to the tail.
Use the tip of the knife to devein the shrimp.
Discard the outer shell and vein.
Rinse the shrimp under cool water.
Allow the shrimp to thoroughly dry on a piece of paper towel.
