Ingredients
Scale
Shrimp and Meat
- 1 pound fresh, peeled, and deveined shrimp
- 4 slices turkey bacon
Sauce and Seasonings
- 3 tablespoons (plant-based) butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup creamy (plant-based) Parmesan
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Garnish
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- Lemon wedges (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the shrimp and turkey bacon: Lightly season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Cook the turkey bacon in a hot skillet until crispy. Remove and chop into bite-sized pieces for garnish.
- Sauté garlic and shrimp: In the same skillet, melt the (plant-based) butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant but not browned. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and curled, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Make the creamy sauce: Lower the heat and stir in creamy (plant-based) Parmesan, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), fresh lemon juice (natural), and the natural gelling agent. Mix gently until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.
- Combine and finish: Return the crispy turkey bacon pieces to the skillet and toss everything together. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top for freshness and color. Serve immediately with lemon wedges as desired.
