Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons vegan butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup coconut milk, full-fat
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Begin by patting the peeled and deveined shrimp dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add the shrimp in a single layer.
Cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the vegan butter.
Once the vegan butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the coconut milk, stir in the nutritional yeast, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Allow the sauce to cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally until it slightly thickens.
Add the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the sauce. Stir well to combine.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, combining it with the creamy sauce. Let it heat through for another 2 minutes.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve the dairy-free garlic butter shrimp over rice, pasta, or enjoy with crusty bread.
