ingredients you need

This section explains how to choose the best ingredients for keto-friendly shrimp sticks, the role of each in the recipe, and substitution options. See recipe card below for measurements.

For Keto Bang Bang Shrimp Paste:

• Besti Luo Han Guo Powder Allulose Blend – Easily dissolve in bang bang sauce for the perfect sweetness with 0g net carbs.you can change to other keto sweetener, but most others (like Swerve or Lakanto) won’t dissolve either and may crystallize if you make the sauce ahead of time. If you do use another sweetener, make sure it’s in powder form.
• Avocado Oil Mayonnaise – Use store-bought varieties, or make Homemade Avocado Oil Mayonnaise.
• Chili Garlic Sauce – This Vietnamese sauce is a blend of coarsely ground chili peppers and garlic and is often used in Asian dishes. Unlike sweet chili sauce, this one has no added sugar. (If you’re a big garlic fan, you can also add some garlic powder to the sauce.)
• Sriracha – Increase the heat. Adjust to your liking.

For the breaded shrimp:

• Wholesome Yum Flour – Almond powder and coconut powder Mix together to increase the consistency and crispness of the batter. I personally curated Wholesome Yum brand flour to have the best consistency and the right moisture content to give your crumbs the best texture.
• Whey Protein Powder – another important flour and cornstarch substitute Used to create a light, crisp texture. Unfortunately, other protein powders I’ve tried (like egg white protein or collagen) have had different results and the texture ends up being chewy instead of light and crunchy.
• Egg – Let the batter combine with the shrimp. Use whole large eggs. flax eggs Might work as a substitute, but I haven’t tried it yet.
• soda water – Trap air bubbles in the batter for a lighter, crispier texture. Make sure your soda has no flavor.
• shrimp – Use medium sized, peeled, pitted shrimp, preferably tailed, for the best flavor.You can learn more about choosing shrimp on my website Garlic Butter Shrimp postal. If you or any family member doesn’t like shrimp, you can also substitute small pieces of chicken for the same dish.
• salt and pepper
• Avocado Oil – This is my preferred oil for high heat frying, but use your favorite neutral oil that is safe for high heat. Olive oil is another good option.
