Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp and Bacon

  • 1 lb medium-sized shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 oz smoked turkey bacon, chopped

Aromatics and Herbs

  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Sauces and Dairy Alternatives

  • 1 cup heavy cream alternative
  • 1/2 cup plant-based Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tbsp plant-based butter substitute

Seasonings and Thickeners

  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 tsp natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Peel and devein the shrimp if necessary. Chop the smoked turkey bacon into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic finely and chop the fresh parsley. Having all ingredients ready ensures smooth cooking.
  2. Cook the Smoked Turkey Bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the turkey bacon pieces until crispy. This releases their smoky flavor into the pan. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.
  3. Sauté Garlic and Shrimp: Add the plant-based butter substitute to the pan, then toss in the minced garlic. Sauté gently until fragrant. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are cooked through.
  4. Create the Creamy Parmesan Sauce: Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream alternative, stirring carefully. Sprinkle in the grated plant-based Parmesan cheese, add vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir in the natural gelling agent to gently thicken the sauce while maintaining a smooth texture.
  5. Combine and Finish: Return the crispy smoked turkey bacon to the skillet. Toss everything together to coat the shrimp evenly with the creamy sauce. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use fresh shrimp for the best texture and flavor.
  • Do not overcook shrimp; remove from heat once opaque to avoid rubberiness.
  • Keep heat low when adding cheese to prevent clumping and ensure a smooth sauce.
  • Toast smoked turkey bacon in the skillet to enhance smokiness.
  • Add natural gelling agent sparingly and stir well for perfect sauce consistency.
