This has to be one of my favourite meals to make. Its quick, easy, healthy, inexpensive, TASTY and of course gluten free!
Coconut Shrimp: (shrimp, egg, unsweetened medium coconut flakes)
⁃ Peel the shrimp (you can leave the tails on it you want, I prefer not to)
⁃ Crack an egg into a bowl and beat it- add some salt & pepper
⁃ Pour coconut onto a plate or bowl (I season with herbs)
⁃ Dip shrimp into egg, then into coconut and put onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment. Repeat!
⁃ Bake at 425 for about 12 minutes (until the shrimp are pink and cooked!)
⁃ Turn once during cooking.
Baked Sweet Potato Fries: (2 sweet potatos, evoo, spices, cornstarch)
⁃ Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Cut sweet potatoes into fry-shaped pieces. Try to cut them into similar sized pieces so they bake evenly.
⁃ Put in a bag or bowl and sprinkle with cornstarch (maybe 2 tsp) and pour in a few tablespoons of olive oil, enough to lightly coat the fries. Season with salt, pepper, and spices. Mix! (corn starch should be evenly mixed in so there are no powdery spots).
⁃ Pour fries on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Keep the fries in a single layer (if they arent, they wont get crispy)
⁃ Bake for 12 minutes, then flip the fries
⁃ Bake for 10 more mins (or until the fries are crispy)
I always mix up some mayo and sriracha for a spicy may dip for them!
Happy Hump Day!
