Instructions :

• Gather all the ingredients
• .
• Chop green onions and set them aside.
• 
• In a stovetop pot, mix together 1 cup of water and 1/2 cup of sweetener and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add in walnuts and boil for 1 minute. Next, remove walnuts and place them on top of a drying rack.
• 
• Prepare shrimp by deveining, peeling, removing tails and drying off any liquid with a paper towel. Note – it is very important for the shrimp to be dry so the batter can stick on.
• Prepare batter by combining Almond Flour, grated Parmesan cheese, eggs and Sparkling Water. Use a hand/stand mixer to mix (you can hand whisk, but the batter won’t be as airy). Note – batter may be slightly runny depending on the brand of Almond Flour used. If this is the case, add more Almond Flour a tsp at a time until desired consistency is reached.
• Transfer the shrimps into the batter mix, mix well ensuring even coat, and set aside.
• 
• Pour enough cooking oil to cover the shrimp into a fry pan of choice (we use a cast iron pan) and heat oil up to 375F (if you don’t have a thermometer, just wait until the oil starts to lightly smoke, about 3-5 minutes). Note – it’s very important for the oil to be up to temp, otherwise, the batter will come off.
• Once up to heat, reduce heat to medium, carefully add coated shrimp and cook for 30-45 seconds or until golden brown per side. Once done, transfer shrimp to a drying rack.
• Prepare the sauce by adding butter and heavy cream into a large Teflon frying pan on medium low heat. Cook for 3-5 minutes until sauce is reduced and thickened. Transfer the reduced sauce into a mixing bowl and mix in sweetener and mayo.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine walnuts, fried shrimp, sauce and gently toss together. Once coated, transfer to a serving plate and top with green onions.
