Creamy Mushroom & Spinach Shrimp Skillet

Pesto & Potatoes
Pesto & Potatoes

Single-skillet dinners are always welcome, and this Creamy Mushroom & Spinach Shrimp Skillet is a favorite. The vegetables are cooked together in a creamy sauce for this pescatarian dinner that's also Whole30 compatible. For me, a skillet dinner often includes shrimp. It’s one of my favorite proteins – I always keep plenty of the frozen shellfish on hand – and it’s easy to build a Whole30-friendly dinner around it. This Creamy Mushroom & Spinach Shrimp Skillet checks all of the boxes and is complete with some Italian-inspired ingredients you likely have on hand.

Ingredients

Instructions

0 of 7 done
  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tablespoons ghee over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Place shrimp in a single layer into the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes. Flip and cook for 2 minutes, or until shrimp is just cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside on a plate.

  2. Step 2

    Reduce heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet. Once heated, add in diced onion, stirring to coat. Cook for about 5 minutes, until onion is translucent.

  3. Step 3

    Add in minced garlic and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute before adding in sundried tomatoes and sliced mushrooms.

  4. Step 4

    Return heat to medium-high and cook until mushrooms start to get crispy on the edges. Add coconut cream to the pan. (Note: If you don’t have coconut cream, you can skim off the thicker, cream from a can of coconut milk.)

  5. Step 5

    Season with salt and pepper and stir to combine. Cook for about 3 minutes, until sauce begins to thicken. Reduce heat back to medium. Add spinach to the pan. Stir and cook until spinach is just wilted.

  6. Step 6

    Return shrimp to the pan, stirring to combine and reheat the shrimp. Zest about 1 tablespoon lemon zest into the skillet and squeeze in the juice of half a lemon. Stir in fresh basil (you can also substitute 1 teaspoon dried basil). Taste, adjust seasoning, as desired.

  7. Step 7

    Serve.
