Like Bubba Gump, I love shrimp prepared just about any way.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I have boiled shrimp for shrimp cocktail, bar-b-qued it, ceveched it, grilled it, kebabed it, baked it, butterflied it, creoled it, scampied it, sweet and soured it, foo yunged it and Shrimp and Gritted it. So if there is a way out there I haven’t tried I would like to hear about it. Several days ago I decided to try a healthy version of Coconut Fried Shrimp trying to make it gluten free.<\/p>\n

You see, several weeks ago (Fat Tuesday I think) my daughter, Alexis, gave me a challenge to give up grains along with potatoes and sugar. I have pretty much done that for the last 5-6 weeks with the occasional slip with the sugar.<\/p>\n

I have tried many great cracker and scone recipes from the Almond Flour Gluten Free Cookbook by Elana Amsterdam and they are fabulous. I’m lucky I don’t have to eat gluten free, but if there is anyone out there that does, please take a look at her cookbook and she also has a website www.elanaspantry.com<\/a> where you can find some fabulous recipes.<\/p>\n

(Carb friendly — substitute a sugar free orange marmalade for the regular.<\/p>\n

All the ingredients gathered.<\/p>\n

I was really surprised to see that this batter worked using diet tonic.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Breaded and ready to fry. These can be refrigerated until you are ready to start frying.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Really a tasty sauce. I think it needs to be thinned with a little water or lemon juice.<\/p>\n

So, here is my attempt at healthy (healthier at least) Coconut Fried Shrimp. I did make my own orange marmalade <\/a>(recipe here) for the dipping sauce and if you aren’t up to that, just buy a jar of orange marmalade and you are one step ahead of me. If you have never made orange marmalade before, it is really fun, this is my second time in about a month. You only need one orange and it is so much prettier and tastier than the store bought variety. I am using half sugar and half Splenda this time to see out it turns out.<\/p>\n

**Note — if you do not want to try the gluten free version of this recipe, simply dip the shrimp in flour to dust and then mix equal parts of “complete” pancake mix and beer. Dip the shrimp in the batter then coat in the coconut.<\/p>\n
