Tips & Tricks (5)
- Dry Your Shrimp Thoroughly 💧Pat shrimp completely dry with paper towels before breading—excess moisture prevents crispy coating and causes breading to slide off during baking.
- Double-Dredge for Maximum Crunch 🥚After the first flour coating, dip shrimp back into egg wash, then coat again with the almond-arrowroot mixture for a thicker, crispier shell.
- Toast Your Flour Blend First 🔆Lightly toast the almond flour and arrowroot mixture in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before breading to deepen flavor and improve browning on the shrimp.
- Oil Spray Technique Matters 💨Spray shrimp lightly with avocado oil from multiple angles (top, sides, bottom) rather than one heavy coat to ensure even, all-over crisping without greasiness.
- Chill Breaded Shrimp Before Baking ❄️Refrigerate breaded shrimp for at least 15 minutes before baking so the coating sets and adheres better, resulting in superior crunch and texture.
