Nutty Shrimp
(6 servings)
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 lbs. raw jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup coconut milk, unsweetened, organic
- 1/4 cup crushed cashews
- 1/4 cup crushed macadamia nuts
- 1/4 cup crushed pistachio nuts
- 1/2 tsp. fresh cracked pepper
- 1 tsp. sea salt
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
Peel and de-vein shrimp.
In a small bowl, pour coconut milk over peeled shrimp and allow to marinate while you crush the nuts. Place nuts in your food processor and pulse until the nuts resemble a coarse corn meal. Then place them on a large, plate.
Remove shrimp from the coconut bath and place them on a plate where you can sprinkle them with salt and pepper.
Next, individually roll the shrimp in your mixture of crushed nuts, placing them onto a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes, carefully flip the shrimp and cook for another 3 minutes.
Turn the oven on broil and put them on the top shelf for the remaining 2 minutes so that the nut crust can become crispy. Take them out and serve!
Suggested Sides: Coconut Rice and steamed asparagus.
Naturopathic Doctor Says:
Great protein rich meal that also contains essential fatty acids. Both beneficial for preventing cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Coconut milk is replete with medium chain fatty acids that excellent for metabolism, possible anti-viral activity. Magnesium-rich cashews and pistachios are fantastic to support good bone health, and one study shows that eating nuts during the day has a lower incidence of weight gain and gallstones. Mineral-rich white pepper is good to dispel intestinal gas and has potent anti-bacterial effects too.
