Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 tablespoons grass-fed butter or ghee
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, deveined with tails on
  • 1/2 yellow onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup chicken bone broth
  • 8 ounces sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil, drained and julienned
  • 15 ounces canned coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 8 cups spinach, lightly packed
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the grass-fed butter or ghee. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  2. Cook Shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry and add them to the pan. Cook approximately 2 minutes per side until the shrimp are opaque throughout. Remove from pan and transfer to a bowl.
  3. Cook Onion and Reduce Broth: Increase heat to medium-high. Add diced onion to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until soft. Pour in the chicken bone broth, scraping the skillet to loosen browned bits. Cook until the broth reduces by at least half.
  4. Add Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Stir in 1 tablespoon of the oil from the sun-dried tomato jar and all the drained, julienned sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté with onions for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and combined.
  5. Add Coconut Milk and Nutritional Yeast: Pour in the canned coconut milk and sprinkle nutritional yeast into the pan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low.
  6. Wilt the Spinach: Add the spinach to the pan and stir until it slightly wilts, about 2 minutes.
  7. Combine Shrimp and Season: Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Sprinkle the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir frequently for 5-7 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  8. Serve: Adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot with cauliflower rice or your preferred low-carb side.

Notes

  • Use sun-dried tomatoes packed in olive oil for richer flavor; drain and julienne before adding.
  • Pat shrimp dry before cooking to ensure they sear properly and don’t steam.
  • Bone broth adds depth of flavor, but chicken broth can be substituted.
  • Serve with cauliflower rice for a complete low-carb or paleo meal.
  • The nutritional yeast adds a subtle cheesy flavor and is optional if you prefer.
  • Make sure to cook shrimp until just opaque to avoid toughness.
