LOW-CARB COCONUT SHRIMP

An old, traditional dish in a new keto recipe! Crunchy, sweet and with a tangy sauce. It doesn’t take long to make, and it tastes great.

Cooking Time 30 min.

Serving amount 3

Ingredients :

Shrimps (peeled) 500 g

Big egg whites 2 eggs

Sugar-free coconut squash 100 g

Sugar-free apricot jam 50 g

Rice vinegar 1.5 tablespoons

Lime juice 1 tbsp.

Red chili pepper 1 Piece.

Step 1
If using frozen and semi-cooked shrimp, like I did, first let them defrost and warm up to room temperature (leave in the fridge overnight, then drain).

Step 2
Separate the 2 egg whites into a separate container.

Step 3
Beat with a hand mixer until soft peaks.

Step 4
Prepare the remaining ingredients – coconut flakes and coconut flour – in separate containers.

Step 5
Dip the shrimp in the coconut flour, then in the protein, and finally in the coconut shavings. Place on a greased baking sheet or silicone baking tray.

Step 6
Bake for 15 minutes, then flip to the other side and bake for another 3-5 minutes.

Step 7
While the shrimp are cooking, make the sauce! Add 50 grams of apricot jam, a tablespoon and a half of rice vinegar, lime juice, and finely diced red chili peppers to a bowl.

Step 8
Mix all the ingredients together. The sauce will make a lot, 5 servings, but it’s so good you won’t regret it!

Step 9
Let the shrimp cool for a few minutes before removing them from the baking pan. Serve 2-3 tablespoons of sauce with a serving of 6-8 shrimp.

Bon appetit!
