Ingredients

• 1 pound pre-cooked wild (preferably Key West Pink) Shrimp, peeled and deveined.
• 1/2 cup coconut oil for frying
• Tapioca flour, about 1/4 cup per pound of shrimp
• Salt and pepper for seasoning
• 1 cup avocado oil mayonnaise

• 1 teaspoon caper brine from jar
• 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Method

1. Combine mayonnaise, capers, caper brine and lemon juice, and stir together in a serving bowl. Set aside.
2. Thaw and pat dry shrimp. (Your choice to remove tails or serve tail-on. I usually leave them on).
3. Heat the coconut oil in a skillet until shimmering.
4. Dredge the shrimp in the seasoned tapioca flour and shake off excess.
5. Carefully drop shrimp into hot oil. Do not crowd or they will stick together.
6. Sauté until golden, 3 to 5 minutes.
7. Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with aioli for dipping.

Pro Tip

If preparing as an entrée, increase amounts to equal 8 ounces of shrimp per serving. (For example, this recipe would be 2 servings as an entrée)
