Making Keto Honey Walnut Shrimp at Home

To make this keto honey walnut shrimp at home, you will need a few key ingredients… and a little bit of patience. But trust me, it’s worth the wait!

Shrimp

I recommend using fresh shrimp for this recipe, as frozen may affect the texture and crispiness of the dish. You can either purchase them already peeled and deveined or peel and devein them yourself.

Coating

Traditionally, honey walnut shrimp is coated in a batter made with all-purpose flour. However, I swapped that out with almond flour to keep this dish low-carb and gluten-free. To add some extra crunch and flavor, I also added chopped walnuts to the mix.

Frying Oil

You can use your preferred cooking oil for frying the shrimp. I personally like to use olive oil or coconut oil as they have a high smoke point and add extra flavor to the dish.
