Yield: 32 shrimp with just over ½ cup sauce
 
Ingredients
  • 1 lb raw shrimp (50-70 size)
  • Cooking spray
  • 3 rice cakes, crushed (I used popcorn flavored rice cakes. Crushed rice crackers work too)
  • 1 egg and 2 egg whites
  • 1-2 tsp old bay seasoning (or your favorite seafood seasoning)
For the Dip
  • ½ cup non-fat greek yogurt
  • 3 Tbsp sweet chili sauce (to make sugar-free use sugar-free syrup or honey mixed with garlic chili sauce)
  • 1 packet stevia
  • 1 tsp sriracha (start with ½ tsp and check for spiciness)
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. Crush the rice cakes (or rice crackers) into crumbs using your blender and put in a shallow dish with the old bay seasoning.
  3. In another shallow dish, add the egg and egg whites.
  4. Dip each shrimp in the egg, then dip in the crumbs. Place on a cookie sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Repeat the process till all the shrimp are coated.
  5. Place in the oven and bake for 6-8 minutes until shrimp have turned pink and the coating is crispy.
  6. Meanwhile, make the dip, combine all dip ingredients and allow to cool in the fridge until using.
