Ingredients
- 6 Jumbo Shrimp (peeled, deveined, and tail removed)
- 150 grams Gluten Free Spaghetti (I used Delallo brand)
- 1/2 cup Raw Cashews
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 Tbs fresh Ginger
- 1 cup Arugula
- 1 cup Basil
- Pinch of Sea Salt
- 5 Tbs EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)
- 2 long wooden skewers
- Oil for deep frying
Instructions
- Add wooden skewers to a shallow pan and fill with water to soak for 10-15 minutes (you can do this while pasta is cooking)
- Cook Spaghetti as directed on package, drain and cool down, drizzle with a bit of EVOO to keep it moist
- In a food processor add Cashews, Garlic, and Ginger, blend 20-30 seconds
- Add Arugula, Basil, Salt, and slowly add in the EVOO while blending until it’s a creamy consistency and set aside
- Add Shrimp to long wooden skewers leaving enough room on the end to hold onto while deep frying (I used about 3 Shrimp on each skewer)
- Line Spaghetti up in a single layer (roughly the width of the Shrimp Skewer) over a cutting board
- Place Shrimp Skewer over Spaghetti and carefully roll Spaghetti over, covering the Shrimp
- Repeat with each skewer
- Add each skewer one at a time to a preheated 375 degree deep fryer using oil of choice
- Cook 2 minutes for each skewer or until Shrimp is completely cooked
- Add Cashew Arugula Pesto mixture to a plate and place Shrimp Skewers on top for dipping
- Buon Appetito!
