Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 pieces large egg whites
- 0.5 cup arrowroot flour
- 0.5 cup walnuts
- 1 cup water
- 0.25 cup monk fruit sweetener
- 0.25 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 cup avocado oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Spread the walnuts on the prepared baking tray and toast in the oven for about 8-10 minutes until golden. Set aside to cool.
In a small saucepan, combine the water and monk fruit sweetener, bringing the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Stir until the sweetener is dissolved, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Whisk together the unsweetened coconut milk, mayonnaise, and lemon juice in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
In another bowl, lightly beat the egg whites. In a separate shallow dish, place the arrowroot flour.
Dip each shrimp into the egg whites, then coat with the arrowroot flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet, heat the avocado oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, fry the shrimp in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Toss the fried shrimp and toasted walnuts in the coconut milk and mayonnaise mixture until well coated.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional walnuts if desired.
