Recipe

Ingredients

•1 1/2 pounds jumbo shrimp
•3 cloves garlic
•2 lemons
•2 tablespoons fresh parsley
•1/2 cup arrowroot
•2 teaspoons coarse sea salt, plus more to taste
•1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, plus more to taste
•9 tablespoons coconut oil
•1/4 cup white wine

Instructions

1.Peel and devein your shrimp (leave the tails on for style). Mince the garlic, chop the parsley, zest and juice one lemon, and cut the other into wedges.
2.Whisk your arrowroot powder, salt, and pepper together in a medium bowl, then toss the shrimp in the mix until evenly dusted.
3.Melt one-third of your coconut oil in a large pan over medium-high. Once shimmering, fry half the shrimp for 3 minutes until opaque, then move to a plate in a warm oven. Repeat for the second half.
4.Drop the heat down, melt another third of your coconut oil, and sauté the minced garlic for 2 minutes to unleash its flavor.
5.Pour in the white wine, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Crank the heat to high and let it bubble furiously until the liquid reduces by half.
6.Turn the heat back down and whisk in your remaining coconut oil, one tablespoon at a time, to build a glossy sauce. Toss the warm shrimp back into the glaze, garnish with parsley and lemon wedges, and dive in!
