Ingredients

  • 1 lb. Shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 1/2 cups Pork Rind Crumbs
  • 1 tsp. Arrowroot Powder
  • [2 tsp. Cajun Dry Rub]
  • 1 Head of Green Leaf Lettuce or Romaine
  • 1 Medium Tomato sliced thin
  • 1/4 cup Pickles
  • For the Remoulade:
  • 1 cup Avocado Mayo can use regular as well
  • 1/4 cup Dijon Mustard
  • 1 tbsp. Lemon Juice
  • 1 tsp. Horseradish
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 4-5 dashes Tabasco Sauce
  • 2 tbsp. Diced Dill Pickle
  • 1 Garlic Clove minced
  • 1 tbsp. Green Onion minced
  • 1 tsp. Cajun Dry Rub

Instructions

  • Prep the shrimp and pat it dry. Coat it in 1 tsp. of the Cajun dry rub and the arrowroot powder.
  • In a bowl beat the egg and in a second bowl, combine the pork rind crumbs and 1 tsp. Cajun Dry Rub.
  • Dredge the shrimp by coating it in the egg wash, then in the pork rind crumbs. Place each piece of shrimp on greased, elevated cooling rack on a baking sheet (this allows for the whole shrimp to get crispy in the oven).
  • Bake at 400 F for 10 minutes or until the shrimp are cooked through and the outside crumbs are crispy. Alternatively, air fry according to your manufacturers instructions.
  • Remove from the oven and set aside when cooked, opaque, and crispy.
  • While the shrimp are baking, prep the veggies for your salad. Chop the lettuce, slice the tomatoes, and toss on the pickles.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine all the remoulade dressing ingredients and mix until smooth.
  • Top the salad with the oven fried shrimp and drizzle with the remoulade dressing and serve.

Notes

Dressing too thick? Thin it out with a splash of pickle juice if needed!
