Ingredients

  • ½ pound peeled raw and deveined jumbo shrimp
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • ½ cup sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil for drizzling
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds for topping
  • sliced avocado for serving
mango quinoa

  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Pat the shrimp completely dry. In one bowl, add the eggs. In a second bowl, stir together the sesame seeds, flour, salt and pepper.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the coconut oil. Take the shrimp and dip it in the beaten egg, then dip it in the sesame seed mix, pressing gently so the seeds adhere. Place the shrimp in the skillet, being careful not to crowd the skillet, and cook until the sesame seeds are toasted – about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Place the shrimp on a plate and repeat with remaining shrimp.
  3. Assemble the bowls by scooping the quinoa into the bowl, topping with the sesame shrimp, adding some mango chunks and avocado. Drizzle with toasted sesame oil, sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.
