Alright, this is a simple recipe, I made a very large batch, you can scale it back if you choose

1 package softened cream cheese
10 eggs
1/4C almond flour
5oz bag of pork rinds

Crush the pork rinds in a food processor and set them side.

Combine cream cheese and eggs, I use a ninja and it quickly becomes a thin batter consistency.

You can add in the almond flour and wiz again. I then pour this over the pork rind dust and mix well.

Now you can probably sub out the pork rinds for more almond flour I might try that next… I just dredged the shrimp through and dropped them into the hot lard one at a time… they are really good!

When I was done I had left over batter and I spooned in the batter by itsself into the hot grease and they turned out like hush puppies… very good

I’ve got everything but the shrimp and it’s going on my shopping list now! It sure sounds good!

What kind of shrimp did you use & how much shrimp? I get that this is a seat-of-the-pants recipe but some guidance appreciated.

i just got a bag of small frozen de-veined, shelless, no tail raw shrimp from Walmart, was either 12 or 16oz… just thawed them out, used a paper towel to get rid of excess moisture and dipped and fried…

I tried this as a “corn” dog breading and it pretty much was a giant mess. But I also didn’t have enough pork rinds. I did add a bit more almond flour though. I also added some salt and pepper to the batter. It was ok, not sure it was worth the mess for me to make again though.
