Salt & Pepper Seafood Tacos


What a delight these tacos are! A little bit of work involved but totally worth it!

Tip: You can use your favourite soft taco or tortilla for this, just check the ingredients for unnecessary additives.

Hint: The beetroot slaw will work with any protein and it is listed as a separate recipe if you want to save it.
Notes: To make this paleo friendly you can use fine blanched almond meal instead of the rice flour.

Ingredients

Ingredients

1 tablespoon of rice flour
1/4 teaspoon of sea salt
1/4 teaspoon of fresh cracked pepper
85 grams of seafood of choice
2 tablespoons of cold pressed coconut oil for frying
1 cup of shredded lettuce
1 lemon wedge to serve

Soft Tacos

3 tablespoons of blanched almond meal
3 tablespoons of arrowroot or tapioca flour
1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoons plant based milk
1 tablespoon of water
1 large pinch sea salt
1/2 teaspoon of cold pressed coconut oil for cooking

Tangy Beetroot Slaw

1 small raw beetroot (100g) grated
1 small or 1/2 medium carrot, grated
1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon of carraway seeds (optional)
1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon of chopped fresh parsley
Himalayan or sea salt & cracked black pepper to taste

Method

  1. Make the beetroot slaw first by combining all ingredients in a small bowl and placing in the fridge until ready to serve.
  2. Combine the rice flour, salt and pepper in a small bowl and set aside.
  3. Rinse and dry the seafood and set aside.
  4. Combine all of the ingredients for the tacos in a bowl then heat 1/2 the oil in a frying pan to medium heat.
  5. Pour in 1/2 of the taco mixture and cook until the top is dried out and you can easily turn it. Cook on the other side until you have dark brown spots and it is cooked all the way through. Set aside on a plate lined with paper towel.
  6. Repeat with the remaining oil and mixture and set aside on the plate.
  7. Heat the oil for the seafood in a saucepan over medium high until hot enough that when you add a small sprinkle of the rice flour it sizzles but doesn't burn.
  8. Place the seafood into the rice flour mixture and toss to coat well.
  9. Add the seafood to the hot oil and cook until just done, the rice flour won't really change colour so you're not looking for brown, just crispy. Set aside on a plate lined with paper towel.
  10. Assemble the tacos by evenly dividing the lettuce then the slaw between the two tacos and topping with the seafood. Serve with the lemon wedge. Enjoy!
Note: You can use a combination of seafood for this or just choose one. We used 7 tiger prawns and 6 calamari rings and ended up with 85g all together.
