Method
- Gather, Scan & Measure Ingredients (Alpha-Gal Precaution Check)
Verify all ingredients are 100% free of mammalian dairy. Thaw and pat shrimp dry. Mince fresh garlic, slice sun-dried tomatoes, and measure olive/avocado oil, full-fat coconut milk/cashew cream, broth, and nutritional yeast.
- Sear Shrimp in Olive / Avocado Oil
Heat 0.25 fl oz olive oil or avocado oil in the skillet at 375°F over medium-high heat. Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque (145°F internal). Transfer seared shrimp to clean plate and set aside.
- Build Dairy-Free Garlic Coconut/Cashew Cream Sauce
Add remaining oil to skillet and sauté minced garlic for 30-45 seconds until fragrant. Add sun-dried tomatoes, chicken broth, full-fat coconut milk (or cashew cream), Italian herbs, and nutritional yeast. Bring to a gentle simmer at 200°F for 3-4 minutes until sauce emulsifies and thickens. Fold in fresh baby spinach until wilted.
- Combine Shrimp with Dairy-Free Tuscan Sauce
Return seared shrimp and juices back into skillet. Toss shrimp in the creamy garlic Tuscan sauce for 1-2 minutes until thoroughly heated through and coated.
