Vegan Mock Popcorn Shrimp Recipes

POPCORN SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place flour in a bowl. Whisk egg and milk in another bowl. Combine bread crumbs, salt, basil, parsley, garlic powder, and onion powder in a third bowl.
• Gently press shrimp into flour to coat and shake off excess. Dip into egg mixture and press into bread crumbs. Gently toss between your hands so any bread crumbs that haven't stuck can fall away. Place the breaded shrimp onto a plate while breading the rest; do not stack.
• Deep fry breaded shrimp in preheated oil until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer shrimp to a paper towel-lined platter to drain.

VEGAN 'CHEESY' POPCORN

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot set over medium-high heat, heat oil and 3 popcorn kernels. When kernels pop, add remaining kernels, lower heat to medium-low, and cover almost all the way with a lid, leaving a tiny crack open for steam to escape (face the crack away from where you are standing).
• Cook, shaking occasionally, until popping stops.
• Transfer popcorn to a bowl, and immediately toss with salt, nutritional yeast, black pepper, dried rosemary and red-pepper flakes. For maximum crunch, let popcorn settle for 5 to 7 minutes before eating.

VEGAN CARAMEL POPCORN

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a very large pot over medium-high heat. Put 4 popcorn kernels into the oil and cover until popped; add remaining kernels to the saucepan in an even layer. Cover and remove from heat, about 30 seconds. Return to heat and gently shake pan back and forth over the burner until popping slows to several seconds between pops, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Divide popcorn among large bowls and set aside.
• Combine brown sugar, corn syrup, coconut oil, and salt in a sturdy pot over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reads 270 degrees F (132 degrees C) on a candy thermometer. Add condensed milk, mix well, and heat back up to 270 degrees F (132 degrees C). Remove from heat and let cool for 1 minute. Mix in vanilla extract.
• Pour hot caramel over popcorn. Mix well until coated.

VEGAN MOCK POPCORN SHRIMP

Steps:

• Dry out the tofu however you have to-- whether it's the stove top, microwave, or plate-press method. But it has to be really, REALLY dry in order for this work. I drain the package very well then blot with a dish towel once the block is on a plate, then nuke it in 2-minute intervals, blotting off water every time, until little to no water comes out then I let it cool off so I can handle it.
• Cut the tofu into little cubes.
• Mix the remaining ingredients EXCEPT the olive oil in a long rectangular dish/container.
• In a tossing bowl, toss the dry tofu cubes with the olive oil to fully coat them.
• Dredge the cubes with the flour mixture.
• Lightly fry in canola oil then blot on paper towels.

VEGAN SHRIMP

Steps:

• Cut the brown caps off the top of the king mushroom as well as the hard bottom inch or so.
• Slice the mushroom stems into rounds about 1/4 inch thick. Then cut the circles into the shape of a shrimp.
• In a saucepan, heat 1/3 cup of water, 1/2 teaspoon kelp flakes, 1/2 teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Heat until it starts to boil then take off the heat and pour the broth over the cut mushrooms.
• Allow the mushrooms to marinate in the broth for about 20 minutes.
• Heat vegan butter in a skillet until melted, then add the marinated "shrimp."
• Saute the shrimp over medium heat for about 3 minutes on each side. You can also add some minced garlic for extra flavor and sprinkle them with a little paprika to give them a red color. They are also delicious with a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
• Serve as you would shrimp or toss them into your favorite recipes that call for shrimp.
