Keto Chinese Sesame Fried Shrimp
How to Make It
Step 1
Crack the egg into a small bowl. Beat until smooth and well combined. Add the shrimp to a separate bowl. Add the ground almonds, sesame seeds, garlic powder, salt and pepper to a third bowl. Stir the seeds, ground almonds and seasoning together well to combine. This will create your shrimp breading mix.
Step 2
Take one jumbo shrimp at a time and dip it in the beaten egg so that it is well coated all over. Then dip the egg coated shrimp into the breading mixture so that it is liberally coated all over in the sesame crumb. Repeat this process with the remaining shrimp until they are all coated in a layer of egg and breading.
Step 3
Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over a medium/high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the prepared shrimp to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes each side or until piping hot through and the crumb is golden brown all over. You may need to work in two batches depending on the size of your skillet. You may also add a little extra oil if needed for frying.
Step 4
Add the remaining olive oil, tahini, lemon juice, tamari sauce and a pinch of black pepper to a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust seasonings as required, adjusting your macros accordingly. Serve the tahini sauce with your cooked shrimp for dipping.
