Description
An easy and delicious copycat recipe for keto Bang Bang Shrimp, complete with a tasty low carb slaw.
Ingredients
Scale
For the slaw:
- 6 cups shredded Napa cabbage
- 1/2 cup chopped scallions
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/4 cup sliced or slivered radishes
For the sauce:
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp chopped roasted red peppers
- 1.5 Tbsp Sriracha hot sauceÂ
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar substitute
- 2 Tbsp unsweetened rice wine vinegarÂ
- 1 tsp fish sauceÂ
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
For the Shrimp:
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp Sriracha hot sauce
- 1 lb extra large shrimp, peeled and de-veined, thawed
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger (dried)
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- Avocado (or other) oil for frying
Instructions
For the Slaw:
- Either use a prebagged mix and just toss some cilantro and scallions on there for an Asian flair – or combine all of the listed ingredients and arrange on a large plate or platter. Chill.
For the Sauce:
- Combine all of the ingredients in the small cup of a magic bullet or blender. Blend until smooth. Chill until ready to serve.
For the Shrimp:
- Beat the egg and Sriracha together in a small bowl.
- In another small bowl, combine the coconut flour, salt, cayenne, ginger, and garlic powder and stir.
- Rinse the shrimp and pat dry.
- Add the shrimp to the egg mixture and then toss to coat in the seasoned coconut flour.
- Heat oil (about 2 inches deep) in a heavy duty medium sized pan until it sizzles when you flick a (TINY) drop of water into it.
- To conserve oil, don’t use a huge pan – even if it means you have to cook the shrimp in smaller batches of about 5 at a time.
- Cook the coated shrimp until golden brown and firm – if your oil is hot this should only take 2 minutes or so.
- Remove to a paper towel lined plate until all of the shrimp are cooked.
- Arrange the hot shrimp on the cold slaw and drizzle with the sauce.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
For the best results you want to prepare your slaw and sauce first – then your shrimp is still crispy and hot, which makes a nice contrast when you serve it with the cold slaw and sauce.
