Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
Start by preparing your shrimp. Rinse them under cold water, then pat dry with paper towels. Set the shrimp aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, and sauté for about 3 to 4 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
Add the prepared shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
Lower the heat to medium-low, and in the same skillet, pour the coconut milk. Stir well, ensuring it mixes with the leftover garlic and onion.
Add the lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using) to the coconut milk. Stir and allow the sauce to simmer gently for 5 to 7 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Return the shrimp to the skillet, stirring to coat them evenly with the creamy sauce. Let them heat through for another 2 to 3 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the shrimp.
Serve immediately, pairing the dairy-free shrimp in creamy sauce with rice or your choice of side dish.
