Gluten-Free Coconut Shrimp

Coconut Shrimp:

Gluten-Free coconut shrimp are easy to make as well as being dairy-free. However, if you prefer dairy just substitute buttermilk or whole milk in the recipe. My blog post on Cassava Flour Information may be useful if you have never heard of it before. More importantly, Cassava Flour and canned Thai unsweetened Coconut Milk can be found on Amazon.

Gluten-Free Coconut Shrimp

Ingredients:

Directions:

Before you begin:

In conclusion, if using raw shrimp make sure to devein them. To devein them make a slit down the back of the shrimp and remove the dark vein.

First, in a bowl combine shredded coconut,  cassava flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder.Second, in a separate bowl combine beaten coconut milk and lemon juice (let sit 5 minutes). Thirdly, beat eggs into coconut milk with lemon juice. Working in batches place 5-8 shrimp into the buttermilk mixture. Next, dip into the flour mixture. Next, dip shrimp into the flour mixture.Repeat so that the shrimp are double-dipped.Shrimp are double-battered.Directions for Frying:

You can fry up on the stovetop or use a wok. Using wax paper line a half sheet pan and to place coated shrimp on and line a second cookie sheet for the cooked shrimp. I used a Wok because I feel it takes less oil. IF you have an electric Wok turn it on to high or tempura. Place 6 – 10 shrimp in a wok at a time.

Fry shrimp up approximately 2 minutes per side.Most importantly, do not overload the wok or frying pan.
