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 ShrimpCoconut Shrimp Stew

Process

Prep Steps

  1. In food processor, pulse the granola a few times to a crumbly texture
  2. If using frozen shrimp, defrost it
  3. Pat dry the shrimp using paper towels, this helps it to hold the coating

Set up dredging station

  1. In the first bowl, add the gluten free flour and mix in 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper
  2. In the second bowl, add eggs and whisk till smooth
  3. In the third bowl, mix the crushed granola with garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder and remaining salt and pepper

Pan fry the shrimp

  1. Add oil to a skillet and heat to medium, you should have about 1/2 inch depth
  2. of oil to cook the shrimp
  3. Dredge the shrimp first in the flour mix, then dip in the egg wash and then dredge in the granola mix. Place all the coated shrimp on a tray.
  4. Add shrimp to hot oil carefully and cook till golden brown, about 2 mins on each side. Use tongs to flip the shrimp.
  5. Transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel to soak up excess oil
  6. Serve with Sriracha mayo dip and lime wedges
  7. PS: If you need airfryer instructions, comment below and I will add those in !

Notes

  1. Do not overcook the shrimp or cook on high heat as it will burn the granola topping
  2. While dredging try to keep one hand dry and one hand wet to avoid clumping the dry dredging stations with wet hands
