Ingredients
Scale
Shrimp and Bacon
- 1 lb fresh or thawed shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 slices smoked turkey bacon, chopped
Sauce and Flavorings
- 2 tbsp plant-based butter
- 3 cloves garlic (natural), minced
- 1 cup heavy cream (plant-based)
- 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 1/2 tsp natural gelling agent
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Cheese and Garnish
- 3/4 cup plant-based Parmesan-style cheese
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Shrimp and Bacon: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chopped smoked turkey bacon until crispy, then remove and set aside. Add shrimp to the skillet and cook 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp and set aside with bacon.
- Sauté the Garlic: Reduce heat to medium, add plant-based butter to the skillet. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for about one minute until fragrant but not browned.
- Create the Creamy Sauce: Add plant-based heavy cream, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Stir and bring to a gentle simmer. Sprinkle in natural gelling agent to slightly thicken the sauce. Season with salt and black pepper according to taste.
- Combine and Melt Cheese: Return shrimp and turkey bacon to the skillet. Sprinkle plant-based Parmesan-style cheese on top. Stir gently as the cheese melts into the sauce until glossy and well combined.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove skillet from heat, sprinkle fresh chopped parsley on top. Serve hot with your choice of sides or enjoy it alone for a satisfying meal.
Notes

- Avoid overcooking shrimp to maintain tenderness.
- Simmer sauce gently to thicken without burning.
- Choose flavorful plant-based cheese for a rich, creamy sauce.
