▫️Instructions:

In a small pot heat oranges, honey, lemon, and over medium-high heat, until the oranges are soft, about 3-5 minutes. Add in chia seeds and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Take off heat, and let cool for a few minutes. Transfer to a blender and blend until smooth. Let set in the refrigerator until serving.
In a small bowl whisk together tapioca, salt and pepper. In a separate small bowl crack 2 eggs and whisk together. In a third bowl combine remaining shredded coconut, a pinch of salt, and the coconut sugar.
Working with one shrimp at a time, dip into tapioca flour, tapping off any excess, then egg and finally into the shredded coconut.
Heat coconut oil and working in batches, fry shrimp for about 3-5 minutes, until nice and crispy.
Let fried shrimp drain in paper towels.
Sprinkle with a bit of sea salt and serve warm with chia marmalade.
