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

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the Whole30-compliant mayonnaise, chili garlic sauce, coconut aminos, rice vinegar, and lemon juice. Set this sauce aside.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine the coconut flour, arrowroot powder, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir to blend.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat the eggs until well mixed.

Step 4

Dip each shrimp into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat with the coconut flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Drizzle the sauce over the shrimp or serve on the side as a dipping sauce.

Step 8

Garnish with sliced green onions and chopped cilantro before serving.
