Ingredients

  • 1 lb. shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 bell peppers, thinly sliced
  • 8 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Slice the cooked sausage links 1/4 inch thick and set aside.

  3. Turn the heat to medium-low and add 2 tablespoons ghee, garlic, onion, and peppers. Sweat the mixture, stirring often to keep it from burning or caramelizing. Onions should be translucent, and peppers should be soft before moving to the next step.

  5. Slowly whisk in the coconut milk and whisk continuously until the sauce begins to simmer.
  6. Add in the sausage, hearts of palm noodles, spinach, and lemon juice. Simmer for 5-7 minutes.
  7. Add in the shrimp, stir thoroughly, and serve.
