Coconut “shrimp”

Now, I know fried food is a drag on the body, but sometimes I can’t help myself.  While looking in my freezer and realizing I still had a good 2 pounds of faux shrimp from many months ago, I figured it was time to do something with them.  My first thought was coconut shrimp  since I never could resist it while growing up.  So I ended up looking for a coconut shrimp recipe (non vegan) and veganizing it.  It had a gluten free option (but with egg) so I tried that and used ener-g egg replacer which I was sure would fail.  And it did.  However I have to say the shrimp was lovely even though the coconut fell off during cooking.  I wouldn’t put the recipe on here seeing as it was time consuming and not well worth it.

I will however post some pretty pictures of the wheat batter version I made for my family, since the pictures look great and it tasted amazing too (apparently).

 

 

This is the gluten free version!
