Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 0.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 large egg white
- 0.5 cup coconut flour
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp pepper
- 0.25 cup olive oil or avocado oil
- 0.5 cup walnuts
- 2 tbsp erythritol sweetener
- 1 tbsp butter
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp sugar-free honey substitute
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp with paper towels.
In a bowl, whisk together the almond milk and egg white.
In another bowl, combine coconut flour, salt, and pepper.
Dip each shrimp first into the almond milk mixture, then coat thoroughly in the coconut flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the coated shrimp in batches, cooking each side for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, add butter, walnuts, and erythritol. Stirring constantly, cook until the erythritol is melted and the walnuts are caramelized. Set aside on parchment paper to cool.
In a medium bowl, combine heavy cream, sugar-free honey substitute, mayonnaise, and lemon juice. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Gently mix the cooked shrimp into the creamy sauce until each piece is well-coated.
Serve the coated shrimp topped with the candied walnuts. Enjoy immediately for best texture.
