Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 0.5 cup coconut flour
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup arrowroot powder
- 0.5 cup avocado oil
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce (Whole30 compliant)
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise (Whole30 compliant)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the Whole30-compliant mayonnaise, chili garlic sauce, coconut aminos, rice vinegar, and lemon juice. Set this sauce aside.
In a shallow bowl, combine the coconut flour, arrowroot powder, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir to blend.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until well mixed.
Dip each shrimp into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat with the coconut flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, carefully add the shrimp in batches, avoiding overcrowding the pan.
Cook each batch for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels.
Drizzle the sauce over the shrimp or serve on the side as a dipping sauce.
Garnish with sliced green onions and chopped cilantro before serving.
