Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 0.5 cup tapioca flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
- 0.25 cup raw honey
- 2 tablespoons coconut cream
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup walnuts
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
Toast the walnuts: In a small skillet over medium heat, add walnuts and toast for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
Step 2
Prepare the shrimp: In a large bowl, combine tapioca flour, coconut flour, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the egg.
Step 3
Dip each shrimp into the egg, allowing excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly in the flour mixture. Place on a plate.
Step 4
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat coconut oil until hot. Add shrimp in batches, frying for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 5
Prepare the sauce: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine honey, coconut cream, and apple cider vinegar. Stir constantly until well mixed and warmed through. Remove from heat.
Step 6
In the same skillet you fried the shrimp, lower the heat and pour the honey sauce over the shrimp, tossing gently to coat evenly.
Step 7
Add the toasted walnuts, tossing again to combine.
Step 8
Serve immediately, garnishing as desired.
