Ingredients
  

  • 1 lbs Shrimp
  • 1 can Coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1 ½ tablespoon Garlic
  • ½ White onion diced
  • 1 cup Grape tomatoes halved
  • 1 cup Spinach
  • 1 jar Marinated Artichokes roughly chopped
  • 1 cup Mushrooms sliced
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon Red pepper flakes
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat a pan with olive oil to medium-high heat and pat the shrimp dry.
  • Season the shrimp on both sides with salt and pepper. When the pan is hot, place the shrimp in the pan.
  • Cook the shrimp for about 3 minutes a side. Then remove the shrimp from the pan.
  • In the same pan, saute the onion and garlic for 4 minutes. Then add the mushrooms and cook those down for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Add coconut milk, artichokes Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper to the pan. Simmer this sauce for about 5 minutes, until it is a rolling simmer.
  • At this point add back the shrimp in and reduce heat to medium. Also add the tomatoes and spinach to the sauce. Simmer until the spinach is wilted.
  • Serve the shrimp and smother them in the sauce. Enjoy!

Notes

  • If your coconut milk is thin- some brands are thinner than others- you can add a teaspoon of arrowroot powder to thicken it up.
  • You can serve this over pasta (regular or gluten-free), quinoa, or your favorite type of starch.
  • If you have leftover sauce, save it for some chicken or pork the next day.
  • If your kids don't love shrimp, serve it with chicken.
