    Gluten Free Fried Shrimp

    We all love those healthy recipes that you would never know are healthy, that is how I feel about this Gluten Free Fried Shrimp recipe. This recipe reminds me of my youth! The gluten free breading is crispy yet full of flavor. This recipe is naturally gluten free, paleo, Whole30 and AIP friendly.

    Why You Will Love This Recipe

    • This recipe is simple to make and can be ready for dinner in no time.
    • Kids love this recipe.
    • You can pair this shrimp with just about anything for a meal or serve it as an appetizer.
    • This recipe is naturally gluten free, paleo, Whole30, nut free, autoimmune protocol (AIP) friendly, and dairy free.
    • It is such a versatile recipe, I love to make it in my Whole30 Bang Bang Shrimp Recipe.
    • You can make this recipe even simpler by purchasing tail off shrimp so you can just pop it all into your mouth!

    Ingredients

    Gluten free fried shrimp ingredients in small glass bowls on a silver tray.
    • Cassava flour-I only use Otto’s cassava flour. Not all cassava flours are made equally. 
    • Mini shrimp-I like to buy the ones with the tails removed. I also like to order Butcher Box. They have the best wild caught and grass fed protein. If you use my code HERE you can get $30 off your first box.
    • Sea salt, onion powder & garlic powder-This seasoning combo adds flavor to these crispy shrimps.
    • Old bay seasoning-I love a nice kick to this recipe. Be sure to omit this optional ingredient if you are following the autoimmune protocol as it contains nightshades. 
    • Coconut milk-The coconut milk is in place of eggs for this recipe. It helps the flour stick. 
    • Ghee-I love using ghee as a fat of choice here because it gives these shrimp a buttery flavor, however, if you are in the elimination phase of AIP you will want to use avocado oil.

    See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

    Substitutions And Variations

    • You can pair these shrimp with different dipping sauces to create different flavor profiles when you make it.
    • You could serve this all in a dish to serve as a meal or turn it into an appetizer by sticking them with toothpicks.

    This recipe has not been tested with any other substitutions or variations. If you try something else out please let me know how it turns out in the comments below!

    Step By Step Instructions

    Breaded shrimp in a frying pan.
    First, place the ghee (or oil) in a large non-stick frying pan on medium heat. While the pan is heating up, mix the cassava flour, sea salt, garlic powder, and onion powder in a bowl. Pour the coconut milk into a separate bowl. Next, once the pan in hot, dip the shrimp into the coconut milk bowl, then into the flour bowl. Let the shrimp sit on a cutting board once it is coated for 5 minutes to allow the mixture to harden and re-dip the shrimp into the cassava flour mixture. This will help the breading stick. Add to the pan after you double coat it. Cook the shrimp for 3 minutes, then carefully flip. If the breading starts to pull off, cook for an additional minute.

    Equipment Needed

    • Non-stick frying pan
    • Two bowls
    • Tongs
    • Cutting Board or plate for shrimp to rest on after first flour coating

    Expert Tips

    • Tip # 1: If you run out of space in the pan, you can fry the shrimp in batches to make sure you don’t overcrowd the pan. Overcrowding will cause the temperature of the ghee or oil to lower which will effect the crispness of the coating.
    • Tip # 2: Make sure to add in more ghee or oil into the pan if it run low.
    • Tip # 3: While the ghee or oil is heating up make sure to move it around the pan to ensure it is evenly distributed.
    • Tip # 4: If frying in batches, you will want to scoop out the loose breading so that it does not burn and change the coloring of the breading of future batches.

    Recipe FAQ

    Can I Use Olive Oil As My Go To Fat?

    I do not like to use olive oil for frying as it has a low smoke point. It becomes toxic after it reaches a specific temperature. I like to use ghee or avocado oil.

    How Can I Reheat This?

    You can reheat on the stove with a little bit of ghee/avocado oil or you can reheat in the oven on 350 degrees F for 5-10 minutes.

    What Can I Serve This With?

    This recipe is versatile what it can be served with. I love serving it with my lemon garlic asparagus or air fried green bean recipes.

    Storage Instructions

    • This recipe can last up to 3 days in the refrigerator in an air tight container.

    AIP Waffles (Egg Free, Paleo, Allergy Friendly)

    These AIP Waffles are the most perfect breakfast treat. They are naturally paleo and autoimmune friendly. This AIP breakfast goes great with my fresh paleo raspberry jam and pure maple syrup, it is oh so delicious!

    aip waffles staked up on a plate

    If you enjoy this recipe, you will also enjoy my AIP Pancake recipe as well. If you want to spice up this recipe even more, you can drizzle my Seedless Raspberry Jam on top too!

    Ingredients for AIP Waffles

    • Cassava flour-Cassava flour is a staple in AIP baking. It has a similar texture to gluten so it does get quite sticky when mixed with the right ingredients. With that said, this ingredient cannot be substituted out. I only use Otto’s brand as not all brands are made equally.
    • Arrowroot-The arrowroot in this recipe works as a binding agent, holding all of the ingredients together. 
    • Coconut milk-The coconut milk is my go to dairy free milk alternative. This helps pull all of the ingredients together. 
    • Coconut oil-The coconut oil keeps these waffles nice and moist. 
    • Collagen peptides-Collagen is so soothing for the gut. You can read more about that in my bone broth recipe. We use them in this recipe to add some extra protein to the pancakes. 
    • Apple cider vinegar-Helps bind all of the ingredients together. 
    • Pure maple syrup-This ingredient is optional however it does add some sweetness to the pancakes. Without it these pancakes are not sweet.
    ingredients laid out by a metal tray

    How To Make These AIP Waffles:

    • These waffles are super simple!
    • First, mix all of the dry ingredients. Then, add all of the wet ingredients. 
    • In the meantime, turn on the waffle machine. If it is non-stick, be sure to spray it with oil. I like this avocado oil.
    • Add the batter to the waffle marker. You should make about 6 waffles in this recipe, so don’t be alarmed if you have leftover batter from the first batch. 
    • I like this waffle machine because you can make four waffles at once!
    • Close the waffle lid and wait until it turns green. Once it turns green remove the waffles with tongs.

    What Should I Serve With These Waffles?

    • I am not even a big sweets person but I am obsessed with my AIP raspberry jam. It is oh so good. 
    • I like to top off the jam with fresh berries, bananas, and pure maple syrup.

    What Kind Of Waffle Maker Do You Use? 

    • I love this four compartment waffle maker. 

    Do These Waffles Reheat Well?

    • I like eating them fresh, but if you do want to reheat them be sure to reheat them without the toppings.
    • Reheating them in the oven is best at 350 for 5-10 minutes.

    This recipe is naturally autoimmune protocol friendly as well as keto, paleo, and Whole30 friendly. Liver is great food for anyone with autoimmune disorders.

    [feast_advanced_jump_to]

    Why You Will Love This Recipe

    • I was first introduced to liver when I did Sarah Ballentyne’s Paleo Autoimmune Protocol (AIP.) It is one of the most nutrient dense foods out there. Nutrient density of foods is important for those doing the AIP diet.
    • I was worried about the taste when I first started to read about all of its benefits, but I soon found that when liver is seasoned properly, it is quite delicious!
    • Liver is really healing to the body, especially for people that are anemic or that have an autoimmune disorder.
    • Pate can be served with any kind of veggies or crackers. My favorite brand of almond crackers is Simple Mills.
    • This recipe is AIP friendly, keto, paleo, and Whole30 friendly.
    • I’m always looking for appetizers to take along to gatherings, and this recipe is simple and easy to make!

    Ingredients

    Pate ingredients in glass bowls on a metal tray.
    • Beef liver– You can use calf or beef liver. Calf liver is just a baby cow while beef liver is from a grown cow. If you cannot find this at the grocery store, ask the butcher. Sometimes they have it behind the counter in the butcher’s area. 
    • EVOO-I like using olive oil to mix dips once they are cooked. It compliments the liver nicely.
    • Avocado oil-Avocado oil is used to sear the liver. If you are not doing AIP, you can use ghee. 
    • Sea salt-sea salt brings out the natural flavor of the liver. 
    • Oregano-adds some extra flavor.
    • Fresh parsley-adds some texture to the dish.
    • Pomegranate seeds-adds a nice sweet crunch.

    See recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

    Substitutes and Variations

    • Liver- You can use either beef or calf liver. If you have trouble finding liver, ask the butcher where it is located in your grocery store.
    • Avocado oil- If you don’t have health restrictions, ghee can be used in place of avocado oil.
      •

    Expert Tips

    • Tip #1: Be sure that you don’t overcook liver as it will become tough. Only cook it for a few minutes on each side.
    • Tip #2: Garnish your pate with fresh parsley for some texture or use pomegranate seeds to add a little crunch to your dish.
    • Tip #3: Liver can be hard to find, so be sure to ask a butcher for help!

    aip bone broth 9 scaled

    February 21, 2021 Autoimmune Protocol

    AIP Bone Broth Recipe (Paleo, Whole30, Keto)

    This AIP Bone Broth Recipe is a staple in the paleo autoimmune protocol. It not only tastes amazing but is so soothing for the gut. This recipe is simple, easy, and only requires a few minutes of hands on time. If you enjoy this recipe, you will also enjoy my Homemade Elderberry Syrup as well.

    aip bone broth in a jar being poured into a glass

    Why Is Bone Broth A Staple In The Autoimmune Protocol?

    • Bone broth is nutrient dense. The apple cider vinegar in this recipe pulls the nutrients out of the bones and vegetables. The bones are loaded with collagen which is soothing for both the gut and joints. 

    Ingredients For AIP Bone Broth:

    • Chicken back bones-You can find these in the butcher department at your local grocery store. You can also use beef bones. Make sure they are grass fed if possible. What the chicken eats is most important vs. being organic.
    • Lemons-This will give the broth some flavor.
    • Garlic-The garlic combined with the lemon makes this broth so delicious. 
    • Fresh parsley & cilantro-My go to herbs for bone broth.
    • Onions-Onions are a must in this recipe!
    • Carrots, celery, and leeks are my go to vegetables of choice, however this recipe is super flexible in terms of the vegetables that you add in. 
    • Water-Make sure it is filtered!
    • Apple cider vinegar-The vinegar helps the bones release nutrients which is the thing that makes bone broth so nutrient dense.

    How To Make AIP Bone Broth:

    • First, place all ingredients in the crockpot and fill up the remaining space with filtered water. 
    • Now, set the crockpot to low for 24 hours. Once the 24 hours is up, refill the crockpot to the top. Give the broth a good mix. 
    • Allow the broth to cook for an additional 24-48 hours. 
    • Once the broth is done, use a strainer to remove the bones and veggies. 
    • Let the broth cool, then store in a glass bottle.

    Can I Freeze Bone Broth?

    • Yes you can freeze it, however I like to drink 2-3 glasses a day. Which means it typically doesn’t last long enough to be frozen. If you do freeze it, be sure to allow the broth to completely cool, then pour into a glass mason jar. Make sure to leave about an inch of room on the top without liquid so that the glass does not break. The liquid will expand when it freezes so it is essential to leave the extra room.

    Can I Use The Stove?

    • You could, however I do not like the idea of leaving the stove on for hours. This recipe does best when it is slow cooked, that is why I use the crockpot. THIS is the crockpot I use.

    honey sriracha salmon 8 scaled

    February 20, 2021 Dairy free

    Honey Sriracha Salmon (Paleo, Gluten Free)

    This sriracha honey salmon is oh so delicious and the most perfect weeknight meal. This dish is something the whole family can enjoy. The combination of honey and sriracha is quite the winning combo. When you make this recipe you can have dinner on the table in less than 30 minutes!

    What Do I Need To Make Sriracha Honey Salmon?

    • Wild caught salmon-I am obsessed with Butcher Box! They send me a monthly shipment of all of my favorite wild caught meats and seafoods. If you use my link HERE, you can get $30 off your first order. 
    • Coconut aminos-coconut aminos is my go to soy sauce alternative in paleo cooking. Not all brands are created equally. I prefer the Trader Joe’s brand out of all of the ones out there. If you do not have a Trader Joe’s near you, you can order them online HERE.
    • Honey-Typically I say always go for local honey but since you are baking it here any honey brand will do. The combination of the honey and the sriracha is delicious! 
    • Rice vinegar- The rice vinegar adds some tangyness to this sweet salmon.
    • Sriracha-This is what adds the spice! I love Trader Joe’s brand because it is pretty clean.
    • Ginger-Gives this recipe a nice kick!
    • Sesame oil-This is what gives this salmon the Asian like flavor.
    • Garlic-adds even more flavor!
    • OPTIONAL cauliflower rice-to serve the salmon over.

    To garnish (OPTIONAL)

    • Green onions-chopped
    • Red pepper flakes
    • White sesame seeds
    • Lime juice

    How To Make Sriracha Honey Salmon:

    • First thing is first, mix all ingredients aside from the salmon in a bowl. 
    • Next, pour half of the sauce into a ziplock bag and cut up the salmon into 2-3 pieces. Add the salmon into the bag. Shake up the bag. 
    • Remove the salmon from the bag and place it on a baking sheet. 
    • I love to cook this recipe in my toaster oven because I do not have to heat up the whole oven. Pour the remaining sauce from the bag over the salmon. 
    • Cook the salmon on 350 for 15-20 minutes. If you like your salmon well done stick with 20 minutes, if you like it less well done stick to 15 minutes. 
    • While the salmon is cooking you can cook the optional cauliflower rice or brown rice to make this into a full meal.

    Can I Use This Honey Sriracha Salmon Dish For Meal Prep?

    • Yes, I suggest eating it within 2-3 days.

    How Can I Reheat Salmon?

    • I like to reheat it in the oven on 350 for 5-10 minutes.

    AIP Pie Crust With Berries (Paleo, Egg Free, Allergy Friendly)

    This AIP pie with a berry filling is oh so delicious yet so easy to make. This recipe is naturally AIP, paleo, egg free, and allergy friendly. This recipe is quick, easy, and no one would ever guess it is paleo friendly. This pie crust is everything pie crust should be: flakey and “buttery.”

    aip pie crust and berries close up in a pie dish

    What You Will Need To Make This AIP Pie:

    For The AIP Pie Crust:

    • Cassava flour-This is the base for the recipe. Cassava is very similar to gluten in the sense that once it gets wet it becomes sticky and holds together well. I ONLY use the Otto’s brand. Not all cassava flour brands are created equally.
    • Gelatin-This is what is going to act as your egg here, gelatin eggs are a staple in AIP baking as eggs are not allowed. 
    • Apple cider vinegar-This will help mesh in the gelatin. 
    • Ghee-this helps hold everything together. 
    • Water-This will help the dough become soft. 
    • Arrowroot flour-This is used to roll out the dough and prevent it from sticking to the wax paper. 

    For the AIP pie filling:

    • Berries of choice-I love using a combination of berries, the more texture, the better!
    • Lemon juice-The lemon juice compliments the berries oh so nicely. 
    • Pure maple syrup-This adds another layer of sweetness to the berries. 
    • Arrowroot-This helps the berries stick together well. Arrowroot often acts like corn starch in AIP and paleo recipes.

    ingredients on a tray

    How To Make This AIP Pie Crust:

    • First thing is first, you want to make the crust. Add the arrowroot, gelatin and lard (or ghee and palm oil shortening) to a bowl and mix. I like to use my hands, you can also use a pastry blender. Now, roll the dough into a ball.
    • Next, add in the water and apple cider vinegar. The dough should be smooth yet a little bit crumbly. Re-roll the dough into a ball, if it crumbles, add a tbsp of water until it is smooth yet not sticky.
    • Now, lay down a piece of wax paper and add the arrowroot to the wax paper. Lay down the ball of dough and roll it out. It is ok if it crumbles, just start over. If you find it crumbling too much, add another tbsp of water. Once the dough is rolled out, spray the pie tray with oil so it does not stick (I like avocado oil) and flip the pie crust on the wax paper.

    For the filling:

    • Toss all ingredients together, you will want the arrowroot to be all around the berries. Add the mixture to the pot and bring to a simmer. Once it simmers, remove the mixture from the pot and add the mixture to the pie crust. 
    • Cook the pie in the oven at 350 for 50 minutes.

    How To Prevent The Dough From Sticking:

    • Spray the tray prior to using with oil of choice. I like this brand.
    • Add the arrowroot down to the parchment paper prior to rolling it out.

    How To Store This Pie:

    • Make sure it cools completely at room temperature, then add plastic wrap over top.
    • This pie does best if you serve it right after cooling.aip pie crust in a pie dish with a rolling pin

    Ingredients

    For the filling:

    • 3 tsp maple syrup
    • 3 cups diced berries
    • 1 tbsp arrowroot powder
    • 1 whole lemon juiced

    For rolling the dough:

    • 1/4 cup cassava flour (in addition) to prevent the dough from sticking to the rolling pin.

    For the crust:

    • oil spray prevents the dough from sticking. I like this brand.
    • 1/2 cup purified water
    • 2 cups cassava flour ONLY use Otto's.
    • 3/4 cup ghee or lard
    • 2 tbsp gelatin
    • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
    • a pinch sea salt

    Instructions

    For the crust:

    • Preheat the oven to 350. Place the gelatin, cassava flour, sea salt and ghee in a bowl and mix in the lard or ghee. You can use a pastry blender or your hand to do this.
      aip pie 12
    • Now add the apple cider vinegar and water, mix it together and form a ball. Once the ball is formed, grab a piece of parchment paper, and throw down the extra cassva flour powder to prevent it from sticking. Roll out the dough. Once the dough is rolled spray your pan with your oil of choice to prevent it from sticking. Flip the parchment paper over the pie dish and press down GENTLY to form it. If it cracks that is ok, just pull the dough tight or start over. Now poke holes with a fork in the bottom of the crust to prevent it from bubbling when baking.

    For the filling:

    • Toss all filling ingredients in a bowl to make sure the arrowroot is evenly disperse. Add the mixture to the pan and bring to a simmer on medium heat. Once it simmers, remove from the pan and pour on top of the crust. Bake in the oven for 50 minutes.

    pan seared filet mignon 5 scaled

    Dairy Free Mushroom Sauce

    This Pan Seared Filet Mignon with Creamy Mushrooms sauce is everything you need for date night. The filet mignon in this recipe is crispy on the outside and oh so juicy on the inside. The creamy white sauce combined with the mushrooms makes this recipe oh so delicious. This recipe is quick and easy, you can have dinner on the table in 30 minutes. This recipe is naturally paleo, Whole30, and keto friendly. It can be made AIP friendly with one simple modification.

    If you enjoy this recipe, you will also enjoy my Steak Date Night Dinner with Garlic Aioli as well.

    What You Need To Make This Pan Seared Filet Mignon With Creamy Mushroom Sauce:

    For the pan seared filet mignon:

    • (2) 6-8 ounces filet mignon steaks- I like using Butcher Box. They ship you a monthly supply of grass fed meats every month. I find their quality is the absolute best. I can taste a difference in the steak too. If you use my link HERE, you can get $30 off your first order.
    • Pink sea salt & pepper- This is what is used to seasoned the steaks. If you are doing AIP, be sure to omit the black pepper. 
    • Ghee- I like using ghee in place of butter to give my dishes the buttery flavor.

    For the Creamy Mushroom Sauce:

    • Mushrooms-This are a necessity! This is what makes the mushroom sauce 🙂
    • Ghee-Again, this is what makes the buttery taste in the sauce. If you can tolerate dairy, you could use regular butter. 
    • Purple onion & garlic- Adds so much flavor! In my opinion, the more garlic the better. 
    • Lemon juice-This is a must. This will add a kick to the sauce. Without this, the sauce is bland. 
    • Bone broth & almond milk-This is what gives that sauce that creamy flavor. If you are doing AIP, you can use full fat coconut milk.
    • Water & arrowroot- Arrowroot is similar to cornstarch in paleo cooking. It is a staple in my house. We use it to thicken up our sauces.

    How To Make This Pan Seared Filet Mignon With The Creamy Mushroom Sauce?

    For the steak:

    • First, preheat the oven to 400.
    • Next, pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and add the salt and pepper to both sides.
    • Now, put a non-stick pan on the stove to medium heat, let it warm up for 2 minutes. Add the ghee.
    • Add the steaks to the pan and let them cook for 5 minutes on each side for a total of 10 minutes. If you like your steak more pink, stick to a total of 10 minutes. If you like it more well done, do 7 minutes on each side. 
    • Once the steak is done baste it with the ghee sauce and wrap in foil for 5 minutes prior to eating. 

    For The Sauce:

    • Saute the onion and garlic in the ghee in a non-stick pan for 3 minutes. 
    • Next, add the mushrooms, lemon juice, dairy free milk and bone broth to the pan and cook for an additional 5 minutes. 
    • While the mushrooms are cooking make the arrowroot mixture. Add the arrowroot to a bowl of water and whisk together continuously until a white mixture forms. Once the mushrooms are done, turn off the heat and add the mixture to the pan while whisking together. Let the sauce sit and thicken for 5 minutes prior to serving. 

    Additional info for cooking the steak:

    • 5 minutes on each side (10 minutes total) for medium-rare. 
    • 6 minutes on each side (12 minutes total) for medium.
    • 7 minutes on each side (14 minutes total) for medium-well.
