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

Directions
Step 1
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp with paper towels.
Step 2
In a bowl, whisk together the almond milk and egg white.
Step 3
In another bowl, combine coconut flour, salt, and pepper.
Step 4
Dip each shrimp first into the almond milk mixture, then coat thoroughly in the coconut flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

In a medium bowl, combine heavy cream, sugar-free honey substitute, mayonnaise, and lemon juice. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Step 8
Gently mix the cooked shrimp into the creamy sauce until each piece is well-coated.
