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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2

Spread the walnuts on the prepared baking tray and toast in the oven for about 8-10 minutes until golden. Set aside to cool.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Whisk together the unsweetened coconut milk, mayonnaise, and lemon juice in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.

Step 5

In another bowl, lightly beat the egg whites. In a separate shallow dish, place the arrowroot flour.

Step 6

Dip each shrimp into the egg whites, then coat with the arrowroot flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Toss the fried shrimp and toasted walnuts in the coconut milk and mayonnaise mixture until well coated.

Step 9

Serve immediately, garnished with additional walnuts if desired.
