Ingredients

  • 1 lb shrimp deveined with tail removed
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 3/4 cup white onion diced
  • 1/4 cup garlic minced
  • 3 cups spinach fresh
  • 1 tablespoon tapioca flour or cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup chicken bone broth low sodium
  • 1 cup coconut milk full fat and canned
  • 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
  • 1/3 cup Sun Dried Tomatoes chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley to garnish

Instructions

  • Add the shrimp and olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat in a single layer. Cook about two minutes on each side until just cooked through. Set the shrimp aside on a plate.
  • Add the onion to the skillet with a splash of bone broth and cook for 2 minutes. Add the minced garlic for about 1 minute.
  • Add the broth and coconut milk, then whisk in the tapioca. Scrape the bottom of the skillet as you whisk. Stir to combine, then whisk in the mustard, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Cook and stir until the sauce begins to thicken about 5 minutes. The sauce should be thick.
  • Add the sun-dried tomatoes and the spinach and cook until it wilts. 
  • Place the shrimp back in the skillet and stir, then sprinkle all over with parsley. 
  • Serve over sautéed cauliflower rice or with regular rice.

Notes

  • Remove the shrimp from the heat once they turn pink and start to curl into a C so they don’t overcook.
  • Thaw frozen shrimp in a bowl of very cold water for 30 minutes if you use frozen shrimp.
  • The safe internal temperature for shrimp is 145°F. Use a meat thermometer when cooking to check the shrimp for doneness.
