Crispy Gluten-Free Popcorn Shrimp
Here's a fun delicious game day snack that will set you apart. This Crispy Popcorn Shrimp is my gluten free version of the original, coated with the utterly delicious Nana Joes Paleo Orange, Almond Butter & Pecan Granola. The shrimp is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The unique coating made of pecans, orange zest, almond butter with a touch of maple syrup makes it epic and totally drool worthy. Pair it with a simple Sriracha Mayo dip and watch these disappear off the plate in minutes! For other delicious shrimp recipes, check out Cilantro Mint Shrimp & Coconut Shrimp Stew
