No ONE would Know the SHRIMP is a CASHEW

No ONE would Know the SHRIMP is a CASHEW... I recently have been eating a LOT of cashews lately and after I recently made some cashew cheese It dawned on me how soft and pliable cashews can get... I thought that would be a perfect shrimp texture... SO I ran with it and I am so glad I did because this came out incredible. This vegan shrimp from cashews is almost indistinguishable from real shrimp... except being a bit more firm.. haha
This was my first attempt with no testing beyond what you see here, so if you have any ideas on how to make the vegan shrimp better make sure to let me know... Im thinking about maybe boiling them? Thoughts?

Really enjoy your channel. As a vegan (30+ years) and a chef, your creations have been quite unique and refreshing. Thank you.

One of the most underrated things about vegan cooking is being able to save and reuse marinades (cooked OR raw)!

Hey Saucy, after you, soak them overnight. Boil them again for about 30 minutes. A rapid boil. I don't know how you feel about meat tenderizer. A lot of people get mad at me for using it. But I find that works on lagooms and other food items. Not just meat.

If you're trying to make this a bit more shrimp-like, you could add a good bit of Old Bay seasoning to the flour, and maybe sprinkle on a bit more when the nuts come out of the oil. Not _too_ much, of course; we're not trying to drown everything in Old Bay. But for us east coasters, there's a strong association between certain seafoods (shrimp, crab, lobster, etc.) and Old Bay.

I have everything to make these! I have the cashews, I have the kombu, I have the chili sauce, I have the rice wine vinegar, I have the agave, I have the mayo, I even have the beet root powder! I'm making these!! I haven't had shrimp since I went vegan! Thank you!!!

Never seen cashews this big. This man is a wealth of knowledge.

Hmmm... the cashews might get softer if, after soaking, they were also boiled. This is a really great idea, though.

[CbatesMusic]

There you go again, blowing my mind. Can't wait to try this!

[chocolatasm]

For a softer bite maybe blanch the cashews first in the marinade, let them cool in the liquid before dredging and a frying.

I didn't know such cashews existed. Thanks for the education. Also what a genius idea. I could eat a whole bowl of it. Looks wise, it's a ten. Thanks for the inspiration.

You make fun, tasty and modern day dishes in the kitchen - love it!!!

[tykaelin]

As a non-vegan (but meat conscious) lover of cashew based meats, I'm so stoked to try this later.

[hundred]

What a cool idea!!! Wow, they look so tasty. Im imagining eating them with some fried rice

On the German north sea coast you can find shrimps that are smaller than normal cashews - I try not to use so much oil, but your brine sounds interesting. I really enjoy your creativity!

[shieldontario]

Ever tried konjac ? Love to see a video on that shrimp substitute!

[muatok]

Maybe if frozen before frying they might retain more moisture, also boiled and maybe a little baking soda in the marinade

[blackrosenuk]

Your creativity knows no bounds, and I'm so here for it.

[brunofilgueiras]

I would love to see you doing recipes to serve non-vegan eaters and get their feedback on it, you could maybe convince some people into this lifestyle by showing that vegan food can be delicious too... shout out from Brazil <3

[JTMusicbox]

The idea reminds me of cashew chicken which is a thing, and now wondering if you’ll make cashew chickUn next. This shrimp recipe is amazing as is though. Just got me thinking.

[davideocassette]

These look so good I'm gonna try making them today. And as an Aussie I can say "Throw another cashew on the barbie, mate!"
