Notes
-
- Use grilled or air-fried shrimp instead of breaded for a lighter version.
-
- Try pecans or almonds if walnuts aren’t your favorite.
-
- Toss in steamed broccoli, snap peas, or bell peppers for a more balanced meal.
-
- Make it gluten-free by swapping the breaded shrimp for gluten-free breading or use fresh shrimp without breading.
-
- For a keto-friendly option, skip the breading altogether and using a low-carb sweetener instead of sugar.
