Deep Fried Peanut Review

 

From Florida, I received some deep-fried peanuts from the company "A little nuts". They deep fry Valencia peanuts that are actually grown in New Mexico.

They chose these types of peanuts because they have a very unique sweet taste that is mold-free. The shell is extra thin and this is due to the growing climate of the desert. Therefore you can safely eat the shell.

A Little Nuts, flash fries their peanuts in soybean oil which makes them healthy for everyone. The best part deep frying in soybean oil gives your product a longer shelf life and therefore stays fresh longer.

A Little Nuts deep-fried peanuts come in yummy seven flavors. You have to beware though, you can not stop eating just a few, they are a healthy addicting snack, you can enjoy anytime.

The deep-fried peanuts are keto-friendly and also are gluten-free. A Little Nuts is an eco-friendly product made in small batches which ensures not only freshness but quality. This woman-owned company is making delicious deep-fried homemade peanuts that you will fall quickly in love with.

Not only great and delicious from the bag, but you can peel them and cook with them as well.

I made a delicious pan-seared shrimp dinner with A Little Nuts peeled garlic-flavored fried nuts. Then added some black pepper and lime for extra flavor. I used medium-sized peeled shrimp for this recipe. A Little Nuts deep-fried peanuts give the shrimp dish an added crunch factor and flavor since they are garlic flavored. The dish really came together and was enjoyed by the whole family.

1 ½ pounds medium-large shrimp, peeled, deveined, and tails removed

1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided

2 teaspoons coriander seeds

1 teaspoon black peppercorns

1 teaspoon paprika

1 garlic clove, minced

1 ⅛ teaspoons sugar, divided

⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes

4 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided

½ cup fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems, chopped

1 tablespoon lime juice, plus lime wedges for serving

3 tablespoons dry-roasted peanuts, chopped coarsely

half a bag of A Little Nuts deep-fried peanuts peeled

Combine shrimp and 1/2 teaspoons salt; leave aside for 15 to 30 minutes. Next, roughly crush the coriander seeds and peppercorns in a spice grinder or mortar and pestle. Place in a small bowl. Blend in the paprika, garlic, 1 teaspoon sugar, pepper flakes, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt.

 

Using paper towels, pat the shrimp dry. Toss the shrimp in a basin with 1 tablespoon oil and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon sugar to coat. Sauté, in a single layer, in a cold 12-inch nonstick or well-seasoned carbon-steel pan over high heat until the undersides of the shrimp are patchy brown and the edges become pink 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Acting rapidly, turn each shrimp with tongs; set aside until the second side is opaque, approximately 2 minutes. Place the shrimp on a plate.

 

To the now-empty skillet, add the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil. Sauté until the spice combination is aromatic, approximately 30 seconds, over medium heat. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set it aside. Mix in the cilantro and lime juice to blend. Move to a dish, garnish with peanuts, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
