SO MUCH CREAMY GARLICKY FLAVOR IN EVERY BITE!!
Mediterranean Magic happening here with my Creamy Garlic Tuscan Prawns!
If you love dip-able delicious sauces that are bursting with flavor! This is for you
And remember, just because it’s creamy doesn’t mean it has to have dairy!
I served this up to friends without telling them it was dairy-free and they were shocked (in a good way)!
We use ghee, coconut milk, and nutritional yeast, and those three together, give you all the cheesy feels! The creaminess paired with the flavors of the sun dried tomato, garlic, and capers are just heavenly!
While the version I made used all Paleo ingredients, you can definitely be more indulgent and swap out the broth for white wine, and if dairy works for you, coconut milk for cream and parmesan is amazing instead of nutritional-yeast.
This dish is also AMAZING with chicken instead of shrimp, and for vegetarians, mushrooms are wonderful! cook the chicken or mushroom ahead, similarly to the shrimp, and add them back in and let those flavours meld and mold!
I loved this served on it’s own but this dish would be amazing served over your favorite gluten-free pasta, zoodles, or scooped up with a good bread.
I am dying to try this with a grain-free focaccia.
This recipe looks promising!
No matter how you dish this out, this one is a wonderful served for lunch, dinner, or entertaining. Since the recipes uses nutrtional yeast instead of parmesan, the texture stays the same even when it cools.
Let me know what you think of this. Definitely a favorite over here!
CREAMY, SAVORY, AND SPICY.
Hope you all enjoy this one!
