Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 0.25 cup coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine coconut aminos, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, smoked paprika, and sea salt. Whisk together until smooth, creating your Whole30 BBQ sauce.
Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl and toss them in the sauce until they are fully coated. Marinate for about 10 minutes.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the marinated shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque.
Transfer the cooked shrimp to a serving platter and pour any remaining sauce from the skillet over them.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the shrimp for a garnish.
Serve immediately with a side of your choice, such as cauliflower rice or a fresh, crisp salad.
