Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp and Aromatics

  • 1 pound fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Sauce and Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent mixed with 1 tablespoon water

Topping

  • 1/2 cup plant-based Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the shrimp and aromatics: Rinse the shrimp thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels to ensure even cooking. Mince the fresh garlic cloves finely to release their flavor. Chop the fresh parsley and set aside for garnishing later.
  2. Sauté the garlic and shrimp: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant and golden but not burned. Add the shrimp and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until they turn pink and curl slightly.
  3. Build the sauce: To the skillet, add vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar (natural), red pepper flakes, lemon juice, and the natural gelling agent mixture. Stir gently to combine, allowing the sauce to thicken just enough to coat the shrimp nicely.
  4. Assemble and bake: Transfer the shrimp and sauce mixture into a baking dish. Sprinkle the plant-based Parmesan cheese evenly over the top. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden.
  5. Garnish and serve: Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley on top. Let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.

Notes

  • Use fresh shrimp for the best texture and juiciness.
  • Cook shrimp in a single layer to ensure proper searing and avoid steaming them.
  • Add the plant-based Parmesan cheese just before baking to maintain its texture.
  • Taste the sauce before baking and adjust the seasoning with extra lemon juice or apple cider vinegar if desired.
  • Use just enough natural gelling agent to create a light coating without thickening the sauce too much.
