Sauté Aromatics
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter or coconut oil. Add the diced onion and cook until it becomes soft and translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Cook the Shrimp
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 1–2 minutes per side, just until they turn pink. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
Make the Creamy Sauce
In the same pan, pour in the bone broth and bring to a light simmer. Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, coconut milk, nutritional yeast, and Italian seasoning. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Combine and Finish
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Add the fresh spinach and stir until wilted. Taste and season with salt and black pepper as needed.
Serve
Spoon the creamy garlic shrimp over a bed of cauliflower rice, zucchini noodles, steamed veggies, or gluten-free pasta.
