Number Of Ingredients 13

Yogurt Dipping Sauce:
1 large egg white
3/4 cup dry falafel mix
6 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp (36 to 50 per pound), tails on
Coarse salt and ground pepper
Yogurt Dipping Sauce
3/4 cup low-fat plain yogurt
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 small garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
Coarse salt and ground pepper
Cook's Note: Made from ground chickpeas, dry falafel mix is usually turned into patties and fried. We use it here to give shrimp a Middle Eastern flavor and a crisp coating. Look for the mix in the pasta or grains section of grocery stores.

Steps:

  • Yogurt Dipping Sauce Directions: Step 1 In a small bowl, stir together 3/4 cup low-fat plain yogurt, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 1 small minced garlic clove, and 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley; season with coarse salt and ground pepper. Falafel-Coated Shrimp:  Step 1 In a medium bowl, whisk egg white until slightly frothy. Add a quarter of the shrimp; toss to coat. Lift shrimp, shaking off excess egg white. Transfer to a plate. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons falafel mix, and toss until well coated. Transfer to a clean plate. Repeat to coat another quarter of the shrimp.  Step 2 Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add coated shrimp; cook until golden brown, turning once with tongs, 3 to 4 minutes total. Remove from heat. Transfer shrimp to a paper-towel lined plate. Wipe skillet with a paper towel. Step 3 Working in two batches, coat remaining shrimp as described in step 1; cook in remaining 3 tablespoons oil as instructed in step 2. Season shrimp with salt pepper, and serve with sauce.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could use more spices.

These shrimp were a little too oily for my taste, but the flavors were good.

The yogurt sauce was the perfect dipping sauce for these shrimp. It was tangy and refreshing, and it complemented the flavors of the shrimp perfectly.

The falafel coating on these shrimp was so flavorful and crispy. I loved the contrast between the crispy coating and the tender shrimp.

These shrimp were delicious! I used a store-bought falafel mix to save time, and they turned out great. The yogurt sauce was also very good.
