Make sure the shrimp is dry. Use paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Place the coconut flour in a shallow dish.
Whisk the egg and cream together in small bowl.
Stir together the whey protein, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika and onion powder in a shallow dish.
Heat 1 inch of oil in a large deep frying pan or dutch oven to 350 degrees.
Work in small bathches, lightly dust the shrimp in coconut flour. Then dip them in the egg mixture, allow the excess to drip back into the bowl. Dip the shrimp in the whey protein mixture. Put them on a plate. Repeat process until all the shrimp are coated. Tip: When breading the shrimp use one hand for the wet ingredients and the other one for the dry ingredients. Keep a damp hand towel close by.
Fry the shrimp a few at a time until until light golden brown. Depending on the size of your shrimp this will only take 2-3 minutes. Drain shrimp on a paper towel lined plate.
Gently toss the shrimp in your favorite buffalo sauce and serve with celery sticks and ranch dressing.
