Crispy coconut shrimp is a delicious treat, perfect for parties and gatherings that require a keto friendly and easy to make appetizer or finger-food.

Crispy keto coconut shrimp served in a bowl and ready to enjoy

We added a pinch of salt and pepper to the eggs and to the shredded coconut mixture to create layers of flavor instead of just seasoning the shrimp.

It’s the little details that take a simple dish from tasty to extraordinary!

Keto Coconut Shrimp Ingredients

This crispy coconut shrimp recipe couldn't be easier to make and uses only 6 key ingredients:

Ingredients arranged on a table including shrimp, eggs, avocado oil, shredded coconut and seasonings

Shrimp - you can't have coconut shrimp without shrimp! You can use fresh or frozen shrimp of any size. This recipe uses 1 pound of shrimp that are peeled and deveined with the tail on.

Eggs - you'll need two small eggs, preferably free range and at room temperature.

Coconut - you'll need shredded coconut to coat the outside of the shrimp. Make sure it's just coconut without any added sugars!

Vegetable oil - we used avocado oil in this recipe but any healthy vegetable oil will work.

Seasonings - a simple combination of garlic powder, paprika, sea salt and black pepper is all you'll need.

Optional - you can use a teaspoon of dried green onions to garnish if you like.

How To Make Low Carb Coconut Shrimp

Step 1

Mixing bowls with whisked eggs and seasoned shredded coconut ready to dip and coat shelled and deveined shrimp

To get started, take a shallow bowl and whisk the eggs with a pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 2

Shelled and deveined shrimp with the tails still on ready to be dipped in egg and coated with seasoned shredded coconut

Take another bowl and combine the shredded coconut, garlic powder, paprika and a pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 3

Holding shrimp by the tail and coating it in seasoned shredded coconut

Holding the tail, dip each shrimp into the egg mixture and then into the shredded coconut mixture. Make sure each shrimp is entirely coated.

Step 4

Take a frying pan and heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes until opaque and crispy on each side.

Step 5

Perfectly crispy and tender coconut shrimp served in a brown bowl ready to enjoy

Serve hot, optionally sprinkled with dried green onions. Enjoy!

Coconut Shrimp Storage Instructions

We recommend making coconut shrimp fresh for the perfect crisp and crunchy texture, however you can refrigerate and freeze it as well.

In the fridge: Store keto coconut shrimp in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them in an air fryer or broil for a few minutes until heated through.

In the freezer: You can make bigger batches of crispy coconut shrimp and freeze them for when you need a quick appetizer or side in a hurry. Place the cooled coconut shrimp in a freezer-safe bag and freeze them where they'll keep for up to 2 months.

To reheat from the freezer you can pop them in an air fryer or bake them in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) until heated through.
