Ingredients:

  • 1 bag Milton’s Crispy Sea Salt Gluten Free Crackers, crushed
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper (or substitute with chili powder for a milder flavor)
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 egg
  • 1 pound prawns, peeled and deveined
  • ¼ cup coconut oil, plus more as needed

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Breading: In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Milton’s Crispy Sea Salt Gluten Free Crackers, salt, paprika, cayenne pepper (or chili powder), and onion powder. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.

  2. Set Up Dipping Station: In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg until well beaten. This will act as the binding agent for the breading.

  3. Heat the Skillet: Add ¼ cup of coconut oil to a cast iron skillet and set it over medium-high heat. Allow the oil to get hot, which is essential for achieving a crispy crust on the shrimp.

  4. Bread the Shrimp: One by one, dip each prawn into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Then, place the shrimp into the cracker mixture, patting it gently to cover the shrimp completely with the crumbs and spices.

  5. Cook the Shrimp: Carefully place the breaded shrimp into the hot skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about two minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another two minutes, or until the shrimp are fully cooked and golden brown.

  6. Repeat the Process: Remove the cooked shrimp from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. If needed, add more coconut oil to the skillet and continue the process until all the shrimp are cooked.

  7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the crispy shrimp with warm gluten-free tortillas, fresh lime wedges, shredded cabbage, cheese, and any other favorite taco toppings. Encourage everyone to build their own tacos for a fun and interactive meal!
