Shrimp w/ Macadamia Cream Sauce over Zucchini Noodles

You will not believe that there isn't a bit of dairy of this fabulous dish!  It's one of our favorites!  We don't have it too often because of the expense of the Macadamia nuts, but they are so good for you and paired with shrimp, zucchini and a little spice they pack a super healthy punch!

What you need...Serves 2
1.5 lb. shrimp, peeled & deveined
1/3 cup macadamia nuts
the juice of 1 lime
small handful of fresh parsley
1 garlic clove
1 shallot, peeled & quartered
2 tsp. ghee, or butter
3-4 zucchini, washed and spiralized
1/2 cup coconut milk, make sure you get a fairly even distribution of fat to milk
cayenne pepper

Start out by placing macadamia nuts, parsley, garlic, lime, shallot into a food processor and blend until very creamy.   Add the ghee to a sautΓ© pan and begin to melt on medium heat.  Add the shrimp and cook them for about 1 minute.  Add in the nut mixture and sprinkle of cayenne (optional) and toss to coat the shrimp, then add in the zucchini, and cook about 2 minutes.  As the shrimp begin to turn mostly pink, add in the coconut milk and continuing stirring to cook through.  Allow to cook for about 1 minute until everything is completely coated in the creamy sauce and shrimp are cooked through, serve!

Oh my goodness....so deelish!
