Paleo Coconut Shrimp (Whole30):
- In a medium bowl, whisk together coconut flour and sea salt.
- Beat the eggs in another medium bowl and place next to the coconut flour mixture.
- Arrange the coconut flakes in another medium bowl and create a dipping station: first coconut flour, then eggs, then coconut flakes.
- Taking one shrimp, fully coat it in the coconut flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally into the coconut flakes. Place onto a plate for sautéing once all shrimp are done.
- Repeat for the remaining shrimp.
- Heat a large skillet with coconut oil and minced garlic, sautéing for a few minutes, and place 5-6 shrimp onto the pan at once. Cook for about 3 minutes on medium heat and then flip to cook the other side for another 2 minutes.
- Repeat for the remaining shrimp and add skewers if desired.
- Serve with orange dipping sauce.
Orange Dipping Sauce:
- Heat apricots and water in a small sauce on medium heat and cover.
- Once it boils, bring it to medium-low and let cook for 10-15 minutes or until apricots are fully cooked through.
- Let cool for 5 minutes and then place into a food processor or blender and puree the apricots.
- Add in maple syrup, chili threads and coconut aminos.
- Puree again and place in the fridge for 2-3 hours.
- Serve cold with coconut shrimp.
