Ingredients

  • 1 pound frozen medium shrimp

  • 1 ½ cups milk, or as needed

  • 1 cup almond flour

  • 1 cup coconut flour

  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder

  • 1 tablespoon ground paprika

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 cup ranch dressing

  • 3 tablespoons hot pepper sauce (such as Tapatio®)

  • ¼ lime, juiced

  • 2 cups avocado oil

  • 8 (6 inch) corn tortillas

  • 1 tablespoon butter, or to taste

  • 1 (16 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained

  • 1 large red onion, diced

  • 1 large tomato, chopped

  • 1 avocado, diced

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste

Directions

  1. Place shrimp in a colander and place colander in a large bowl of cold water. Let shrimp sit, submerged, until thawed, about 15 to 20 minutes.

  2. Drain shrimp, remove tails and skins, and transfer to a wide, shallow bowl. Add just enough milk to cover shrimp.

  3. Mix almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Stir ranch dressing, hot pepper sauce, and lime juice together in a separate bowl.

  4. Take shrimp from the milk and dredge in the flour-spice mixture, pressing firmly until evenly coated. Repeat with remaining shrimp.

  5. Heat avocado oil in a deep, medium saucepan over medium heat. Lower shrimp carefully into the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and the meat is opaque, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining shrimp.

  6. Heat black beans in a small saucepan over low heat until warm, about 5 minutes.

  7. While beans are heating, spread one side of each tortilla with a thin layer of butter. Heat tortillas in a skillet over low heat until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.

  8. Layer each tortilla with about 4 shrimp, black beans, diced onion, tomato, avocado, and cilantro, and drizzle ranch sauce over top.
