Welcome to my blog! I have tons of informative articles on gut health, hormones, movement, nontoxic living, and more! Take a look around, I think you'll like what you see!
The weather is getting warmer (supposedly elsewhere in the country – not in San Francisco) and that means picnics and outdoor parties and bright veggie and seafood dishes that make you want to smile.
That’s why I am coming in hot with this delicious (and super easy) zoodle shrimp scampi recipe that is keto and paleo friendly! It’s also IBS and SIBO-friendly because it doesn’t have any onion or garlic and is 100 percent nightshade free.
This goes really well with some white wine, cava or sparkling rose (if you are so inclined to imbibe) and it takes only 30 minutes or less to make once the shrimp has been marinated.
Fresh chopped cilantro (for cooking and sprinkling on top)
Spices: Sumac berry, sea salt and black pepper
1/2-1 TBS capers (can omit if they aren’t your thing)
Option to add 1/2-1 cup sliced organic mushrooms for more flavor and variety
Spiralizer (hand held or table-top one) to create zoodles
DIRECTIONS
Marinate shrimp in avocado oil, lemon zest, salt, pepper, sumac berries and parsley for at least an hour to let flavors infuse.
Once shrimp are done marinading, heat skillet to medium heat
Add some avocado oil to the pan and add shrimp. Leave on one side (don’t flip) until cooked all the way through or you see a nice caramelization on underside.
Then add zoodles to pan once shrimp are almost done, juice from one lemon
Add white wine, salt/pepper to taste and capers and let cook for 5 minutes
Add desired amount of ghee and let everything simmer/cook for an additional 5-10 minutes (reduce heat if necessary so as to not dry up the sauce or burn the shrimp).
And just like that, you have a delicious, light and refreshing meal for 2 in under 30 minutes (excludes the marinade time of course).
We even added some chopped up bacon to ours (we get this amazing bacon at Whole Foods that is dry rubbed and has no nitrites/nitrates, etc.) SO. GOOD.
