Ingredients

For the dressing: 1 lemon ½ cup fresh parsley ½ cup fresh dill ½ cup chives 1 cup mayonnaise 8 ounces full fat coconut milk 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon garlic powder ½ teaspoon sea salt, or to taste ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste For the buffalo sauce: 2 tablespoons refined coconut oil 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar ½ teaspoon chili powder 2 teaspoons garlic powder ½ teaspoon onion powder ½ teaspoon sweet paprika ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste ½ teaspoon sea salt For the shrimp: 1 ½ pounds jumbo shrimp, shells off and tails on 6 carrots 6 stalks celery ¾ cup arrowroot ½ teaspoon sea salt ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste 3 tablespoons refined coconut oil

Instructions

1. For the dressing: Juice the lemon and chop fresh herbs.

2. Combine all ingredients and mix well. Refrigerate until ready to use.

3. For the buffalo sauce: Melt the coconut oil in a saucepan. In a large bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, apple cider vinegar, all of the spices and sea salt.

4. Set aside while you prepare the shrimp.

5. For the shrimp: If your shrimp have shells, remove shells, devein, and keep tails on.

6. Peel and slice carrots into 4 inch sticks. Slice celery lengthwise and cut into 4 inch sticks.

7. In a medium bowl, combine arrowroot flour with salt and pepper. Toss the shrimp in the flour mixture to coat evenly.

9. When the oil is shimmering, add half the shrimp and cook, turning occasionally until completely opaque - about 3 minutes.

10. Transfer to a plate and place in a warm oven. Cook the second half of the shrimp and add that to the oven plate.

11. Toss shrimp in buffalo sauce.

12. Serve immediately with the dressing, sliced carrots, and celery sticks and lots of napkins (this is a finger food!).
