Honey Walnut Shrimp (paleo, Gluten-free)
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F with the rack in the middle position.

  2. Add the walnuts, maple syrup, melted ghee, salt, and cayenne to a medium bowl, and stir to combine.

  3. Spread the walnuts in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

  4. Bake for 15 minutes or until fragrant, stirring often to ensure even cooking.

  5. Take the walnuts out of the oven, and give them one final toss.

  7. In another medium bowl, toss the shrimp with the salt.

  8. In a large bowl, whisk the egg white until frothy, and add the tapioca starch. Mix to form a smooth batter.

  9. Add the shrimp to the batter and mix well, making sure they’re completely coated.

  11. Fry the shrimp in three separate batches for 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until golden.

  12. Transfer the cooked shrimp to a wire rack.

  13. Plop the shrimp into the bowl with the honey-mayo sauce, and gently toss to coat.

  14. Sprinkle the candied walnuts and toasted sesame seeds on the shrimp, and serve immediately.
