Low Carb Lemon-Parm Jumbo Shrimp
A hot plate full of crispy, fried shrimp can really hit the spot! You’ll have to kick fluffy breading out the door, but a coating of seasoned parmesan cheese makes an excellent substitute. This shrimp is loaded with cheese, garlic, cayenne pepper, and freshly chopped parsley. A few squeezes of lemon will really brighten the flavors too!

Please note that you will need up to one cup of frying oil or more for cooking the shrimp in this recipe. However, only the oil you will be consuming is included in your macros. This is to ensure your calories are accurate when adding the recipe to your food log. Enjoy!

Step 1
If necessary, peel and devein your shrimp. You can leave the tails on for this recipe. Marinate the shrimp in the lemon juice for one hour in the refrigerator to tenderize them.Step 2
Lay the shrimp on a flat surface and pat them dry with a paper towel. Crack an egg into one bowl and whisk it with a fork. In a second bowl, combine the parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, garlic, paprika, cayenne, and chopped parsley.Step 3
Heat up to one cup of vegetable oil in a large skillet to high heat. You'll need enough oil to fry the shrimp in, but you'll have excess oil left over in the pan. One by one, coat the shrimp in the egg mixture and then the cheese mixture. Drop them into the hot oil, and fry the shrimp for about 2 minutes per side until they are golden brown and crispy.Step 4
Set the cooked shrimp on a paper towel to remove the excess oil. Serve immediately with a wedge of lemon for squeezing!

What in the world is in it that gives it 2331 calories?

It is the cup of oil! Since your probably not going to have the whole cup of oil I'd subtract at least half the oil (if not more!)

I think that it has counted the whole cup of oil

I wonder if these can be put in an air fryer?

The picture on this recipe shows cooked shrimp but the ingredients don’t state whether to use cooked or raw shrimp. It seems like precooked shrimp would get tough frying it again. Which kind should be used? Thanks!

Raw
