Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 200 grams shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 4 green onions, thinly sliced
• 100 grams bean sprouts
• 1 medium carrot, julienned
• 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
• 1 tablespoon water
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.25 teaspoon ground white pepper
• 2 tablespoons avocado oil (or approved cooking oil)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs with 2 tablespoons of coconut aminos, minced garlic, ground white pepper, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

Add the shrimp, green onions, bean sprouts, and julienned carrot to the egg mixture. Stir until all the ingredients are evenly coated with the egg mixture.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of arrowroot powder with 1 tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Set aside for later use to thicken the sauce.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Scoop about 1/3 cup of the egg and shrimp mixture into the skillet. Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are cooked through. Repeat with remaining mixture, adding more oil if needed.

Step 6

In a separate small saucepan, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut aminos, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and the prepared arrowroot slurry.

Step 7

Heat the sauce mixture on low heat, stirring constantly until slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Serve the Shrimp Egg Foo Young patties with the thickened sauce drizzled on top and garnish with additional sliced green onions if desired.
