Coconut Shrimp & Roasted Asparagus

You will need…

  • 1 Ibs. raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • shredded coconut flakes (sweetened or unsweetened)
  • Arrow root or corn starch (optional)
  • 1 egg, scrambled
  • 1 stalk asparagus
  • 1 Tbsp. avocado oil
  • sea salt

Directions:

Asparagus: Trim ends off asparagus and then place on a baking sheet. Drizzle with avocado oil and add a few dashes of sea salt. Place in the oven at 350 F for about 25-30 minutes or until cooked to your liking (make asparagus first because it takes a little longer than shrimp in the oven.)

Shrimp: Place egg, coconut flakes and optional starch in separate bowls. Pat shrimp dry with a paper towel. Dip shrimp in starch first (if using, although you can skip this to make even lower carb), then egg, then coconut flakes and place on a baking sheet with parchment paper. Bake shrimp in the oven at 350 F for about 15 minutes.

Note if you use starch and sweetened coconut flakes count as your carb for the meal. No need to measure these just place in a bowl and use what’s needed.
