Shrimp and Bean Tacos

These muffins are elevated by the streusel topping. Since I’m a muffin connoisseur, I frequently use the same recipe. You won’t ever want to cook a blueberry muffin from a box again. As long as you don’t overwork the batter, they are quite moist. They reheat wonderfully in the microwave and freeze quite well.

Ingredients

  1. 1 pound frozen medium shrimp
  2. 1 ½ cups milk, or as needed
  3. 1 cup almond flour
  4. 1 cup coconut flour
  5. 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  6. 1 tablespoon ground paprika
  7. salt and ground black pepper to taste
  8. 1 cup ranch dressing
  9. 3 tablespoons hot pepper sauce (such as Tapatio®)
  10. ¼ lime, juiced
  11. 2 cups avocado oil
  12. 8 (6 inch) corn tortillas
  13. 1 tablespoon butter, or to taste
  14. 1 (16 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  15. 1 large red onion, diced
  16. 1 large tomato, chopped
  17. 1 avocado, diced
  18. ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Place shrimp in a colander and place colander in a large bowl of cold water. Let shrimp sit, submerged, until thawed, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  2. Drain shrimp, remove tails and skins, and transfer to a wide, shallow bowl. Add just enough milk to cover shrimp.
  3. Mix almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Stir ranch dressing, hot pepper sauce, and lime juice together in a separate bowl.
  4. Take shrimp from the milk and dredge in the flour-spice mixture, pressing firmly until evenly coated. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
  5. Heat avocado oil in a deep, medium saucepan over medium heat. Lower shrimp carefully into the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and the meat is opaque, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining shrimp.
  6. Heat black beans in a small saucepan over low heat until warm, about 5 minutes.
  7. While beans are heating, spread one side of each tortilla with a thin layer of butter. Heat tortillas in a skillet over low heat until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
  8. Layer each tortilla with about 4 shrimp, black beans, diced onion, tomato, avocado, and cilantro, and drizzle ranch sauce over top.
  9. We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. Amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and specific type of oil used.
