Deep Fried Shrimp Skewers Wrapped in Spaghetti (Gluten Free)

These Deep Fried Shrimp Skewers Wrapped in Spaghetti (Gluten Free) are a tasty delightful appetizer that everyone will love!

I’m always experimenting with food and trying to come up with new creations. Today I thought it would be fun to try something new with Spaghetti!

I used a gluten free spaghetti from Delallo, which is one of my favorite pasta brands. I don’t have a gluten intolerance, but I do tend to eat gluten free pastas once in awhile because it makes me feel less bloated.

Plus my good friend and business partner Sara is gluten free,  and since she is the one photographing all of the recipes I create, it’s nice if she can taste everything I create. 🙂

For this recipe, I cooked the pasta first and then let it cool down. To keep it moist and prevent it from sticking together I drizzled a bit of EVOO over it.

Once cooled, I laid it in a flat layer about the width of the Shrimp skewers.

Then I just wrapped the Spaghetti around the Shrimp and deep fried it.

The final result?

This is a perfectly twisted skewer wrapped in a crunchy spaghetti nest.

Served with a homemade Basil Pesto sauce… this is immensely Orgasmik!!
