Bang Bang Shrimp


With a name like Bang Bang Shrimp, how could you go wrong? You can't! This shrimp is rich and creamy with just the right amount of spice. It's so simple to make. Just add a veggie and some brown rice and supper is on the table in a half hour. 

1 lb bag of thawed baby shrimp
3/4 cup Paleo mayo *recipe below*
3-4 tbsp of hot sauce
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
2 tbsp olive oil
Garlic powder, salt & pepper to taste

Heat olive oil over medium heat. Season shrimp with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Mix mayo, hot sauce and red pepper together and add seasoned shrimp to the mixture. Mix well and cook over medium heat until the shrimp is hot. 

Paleo Mayo:

1 egg yolk 
1 tsp dry mustard 
1 tsp apple cider vinegar 
1 tsp sea salt 
1 cup olive oil   

Beat egg yolk in a bowl. Add dry mustard, apple cider vinegar & sea salt & mix together. Slowly drizzle in olive oil while stirring continuously.  Makes about 1 cup of mayo that rivals the taste of Helmann's! 

If all else fails you can use regular mayo but this just makes it a tad bit healthier. Feel free to experiment with the levels of hot sauce that you use as I know everyone's taste buds are different. Enjoy!
