Ingredients
Yield: 4 servings
- ½ pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 egg white
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves, loosely packed
- 2 scallions, coarsely chopped
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos
- 2 teaspoons arrowroot powder, or tapioca flour
- ¾ teaspoon Umami Stir Fry Powder, or Diamond Crystal brand kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- 4 almond flour tortillas, the cook like Siete brand the best.
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, skippable
- Avocado oil, for frying
Method
Tip in the shrimp, egg white, cilantro, scallions, coconut aminos, arrowroot starch, Umami Stir-Fry Powder or Diamond Crystal kosher salt, toasted sesame oil, minced garlic, and ground ginger in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse the shrimp and seasoning until everything is finely minced and a thick paste is formed.
Lay the tortillas on a clean surface and spoon one-fourth of the shrimp mousse on each tortilla.
Use an offset spatula or butter knife to spread the shrimp paste in a thin even layer on each tortilla. If desired, sprinkle the sesame seeds in a single layer on top of the shrimp paste.
Slice each tortillas into 4 wedges.
Warm a large cast iron skillet or non-stick skillet over a medium burner. Tip in enough avocado oil to reach ¼-inch and wait for it to be shimmering.
Carefully add the gluten free shrimp toasts, shrimp-side down, in the oil and fry until the edges turn golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
Use a pair of tongs to carefully flip them over, and fry on the tortilla side for about 1 minute, or until the edges turn golden brown.
Move the shrimp toasts to a cooling rack to pour off. You can also pour off them on a paper towel-lined plate or blot them with paper towels. Plate while it is hot.
Cooking in an air fryer? Spray the tops of the shrimp toast with avocado oil spray and place as many of them that fit in a single layer, shrimp-side-up, in the air fryer basket. Air fry the shrimp toast at 400°F for 4 to 5 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown. Repeat until all of them are cooked.
Kitchen notes
- How to make these paleo shrimp toasts ahead of time: You can’t really fry these shrimp toast ahead of time because they can get soggy.
- You can make the raw shrimp paste up to two days ahead and store it in the refrigerator in a sealed container.
- When you’re ready to serve them, you can assemble the shrimp toast and fry them.
