    This Whole30 Bang Bang Shrimp Recipe is a favorite of my personal chefs. This dairy free bang bang sauce tastes just like the real stuff! With this recipe, you can have paleo bang bang shrimp on the table within 30 minutes!

    If you are a big fish eater like me, you will want to check out one of my other breaded fish recipes on my blog-Gluten Free Fish and Chips.

    What makes this Whole30 Bang Bang Shrimp so good?

    A few things:

    • The crispy gluten free fried shrimp. Cassava flour works wonders when making anything fried. It is so crispy. 
    • The creamy bang bang sauce tastes just like the real thing!

    Key ingredients:

    For the gluten free fried shrimp:

    • Wild caught shrimp: I love to get all of my seafood and meats from Butcher Box! They send me a monthly supply of all of my favorites. Everything they have is of the highest quality. If you use my link HERE you can get free bacon for life. 
    • Cassava flour-I only use Otto’s. Not all brands are created equally. This recipe has only been tested with cassava. I like to buy it in bulk because I use it a lot.
    • Coconut milk-You can use any kind of milk you would like but coconut is my favorite. This is what will get the breading to stick.
    • Spices-I love using a good bit of garlic powder and sea salt to flavor the breading.

    For the bang bang sauce:

    • Avocado mayo-This is a great alternative for regular mayo. It contains avocado oil vs vegetable oils which is a lot better for the body.
    • Sriracha-To give it that bang bang taste!
    • Ketchup-Make sure it is unsweetened.
    • Lemon-To add to the tangy flavor.

    How to make paleo bang bang shrimp:

    For the dairy free bang bang sauce:

    • Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix together.

    For the gluten free fried shrimp:

    • Place all of the spices and the flour in one bowl and mix. In a separate bowl, add the milk. 
    • Next, on the stovetop, add the ghee to a pan on medium heat and in one hand dip the shrimp in the coconut milk. 
    • In the other hand, after you dip the milk, dip the shrimp in the breading. Dip the shrimp in the breading twice to get it nice and crispy.
    • Then, add to the stove for 3 minutes. Do not touch the shrimp, it needs to get crispy and then flip and cook for an additional 3 minutes.

    What should I serve this with?

    • So many options! This goes great with just broccoli.
    • You can make it with my homemade Whole30 tortillas with a cabbage slaw.
    • You can eat over greens.

    Equipment

    • Non stick frying pan.

    Ingredients

    For the shrimp:

    • 1 pound shrimp I like the mini ones. Wild caught, tail off. Use my link for Butcher Box and get free bacon for life!
    • 1/2 cup coconut milk
    • 1 cup cassava flour I ONLY use Otto's brand. Not all cassava flour is the same.
    • 1 tsp garlic powder
    • 1 tsp onion powder
    • pinch sea salt
    • 1/4 cup ghee

    For the sauce:

    • 2/3 cup avocado mayo
    • 3 tsp sriracha
    • 1 whole lemon juiced
    • 3 tbsp ketchup unsweetened
    • 2 tsp coconut aminos
    • 3 cloves garlic minced

    Instructions

    For the sauce:

    • Place all ingredients in bowl and mix until smooth.

    For the shrimp:

    • Add the cassava flour and spices to a bowl and mix. Add the milk to another bowl. With one hand dip the shrimp into the milk, then with your other hand dip the shrimp into the flour mixture. Now, set on a plate. Do this with all of your shrimp. Then, dip the shrimp again in the flour mixture. This will ensure a nice coat of crispy batter! Set aside the shrimp. Add ghee to a pan on medium heat. Once the pan is heated add the shrimp (DO NOT TOUCH THE SRHIMP UNTIL 3 MINUTES IT UP) this is the key for it to get crispy. Then, flip the shrimp and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Repeat until all of the shrimp is cooked-Note, you may need to add more ghee to the pan in between Serve with greens, broccoli or in a taco shell with slaw. See above text for homemade whole30 taco shells.

      LOVED this recipe! I couldn’t believe how crispy the shrimp were! Sauce definitely had a little kick but it was a great dish. Made it with fried rice and broccoli.
