Paleo Bam Bam Shrimp – from Paleo Takeout

oh my goodness, Paleo Bam Bam Shrimp. This recipe is tooooo good  

This Paleo Bam Bam Shrimp can be made in 30 minutes and is so delicious! When my food blogger friends recommend a cookbook, then I know it will be great. Paleo Takeout by Russ Crandall, is REALLY really great. It ranges from your favorite Chinese takeout, to traditional Burgers and Pizza, but every recipe is mouth-watering and unique. Which is hard to create when there are new cookbooks coming out left and right. This Paleo Bam Bam Shrimp can be made in 30 minutes and is so delicious!

One of my favorite features of the cookbook is a section that tells you how long each recipe will take. Of course I went to the 30 minutes or less section, and I found this Bam Bam Shrimp. 

In Louisiana, we get a lot of fresh seafood, so we buy shrimp in bulk when they’re in season and we freeze them in about 2 pound portions. So to make this dish, I threw my shrimp in the fridge to defrost, and then peeled them before cooking them in the wok. This Paleo Bam Bam Shrimp can be made in 30 minutes and is so delicious!

The only note I have on the recipe is that I had to use 2 egg whites, per 1/4 cup tapioca. I don’t know if it was because my tapioca thickened too quickly, or if it was because my eggs were smaller than usual. Other than that, that sauce was BAM BAM. And I will 100 percent make this recipe again.
