Hello Again! It has been months since I last logged in here. I found myself yet again experiencing extreme blogging burnout. Mostly from social media. It can be such a tough place, Instagram where I mainly share my post has been going through so many changes. Those changes have affected small accounts like mine. My content is not being seen, thereby affecting people coming to my blog. I really thought about if it was worth it now. Blogging seems easy but it’s really a lot of work. Alas, some great blogger friends encouraged me to return. Today I return with one of my favorite whole30 recipes. This delicious spicy shrimp twice baked can be made in the air fryer or oven. It can be a side or main dish. Serve veggies, more protein, or a salad

The great thing about potatoes is that can top them with a variety of toppings. The stuffing of this twice-baked potato is creamy with the use of coconut cream and nutritional yeast to give it a slight “cheese’ nutty flavor. Russet baking potatoes are a great choice because they are a bit more sturdy so it is easier to remove the innards or flesh without tearing the skin. They are often also large enough to be able to serve in halves.

Twice baked potatoes can be made ahead, then they can be refrigerated for up to three days in an air-tight container, heated, and topped with spicy shrimp when ready. They can also be frozen and baked when ready.

The sauce is reminiscent of Bonefish Grills Bang Bang sauce, made to be compliant with Whole30. It is sightly spicy from sriracha, creaminess from mayo, and a hint sweet from the coconut aminos. The shrimp has a light crispy coating from arrowroot or tapioca starch. It is lightly pan-fried in a tiny amount of olive oil, tossed with the sauce, and served atop the potatoes.

Skill-wise this is not a hard recipe to pull off. It does take some time but the result is deliciousness. This recipe even made it into the revised Whole30 Cookbook. In the spirit of keeping the post short, I’ll end it here. Test out this recipe, and please don’t forget to rate and comment.
