Cooking with Almond Milk: Coconut Shrimp over Zucchini Alfredo

Cooking with Almond Milk Coconut Shrimp over Zucchini AlfredoDo you lighten up your recipes in the warmer months? I’m always playing experimenting and playing with my food and recipes. In the warmer months I love salads, smoothies, and anything that’s  not  too heavy overall. Not only that, but I love to lighten up recipes that can feel a little too heavy during that hot season. I love making smoothies with almond milk, because the flavors blend so well with healthy vegetables and superfruits, and there’s some great benefits of almond milk too. About half of my family is either lactose sensitive or lactose intolerant, so we like to keep almond milk on hand. Not only does it taste delicious, it has 50% more calcium than dairy milk and there’s also more protein in almond milk – PLUS it’s an excellent source of fiber! So you can see why I would add it to healthy smoothies, yogurts and even ice cream. But what about cooking with almond milk?

Cooking with Almond Milk: Coconut Shrimp over Zucchini Alfredo

I have this delicious coconut chicken that I love to make, but in these hot months something like fried chicken can seem pretty heavy. We love how it tastes, so I thought why not use the Silk Almond Coconut Blend and make some delicious coconut shrimp with the same recipe? I served it on skewers over a lightened up Alfredo sauce over zucchini noodles and veggies. It was delicious, light, and filling with plenty of good things like protein, fiber and calcium!

The result was a delicious perfectly fried shrimp with a slight sweetness to it, and the Alfredo sauce tasted just like the other version with heavy cream. Served over all of the vegetables it was the perfect light dinner for the summer weather and our family definitely enjoyed it all.

Alfredo Sauce Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 teaspoons all purpose flour
  • 1-1/2 cup Silk Almondmilk Protein + Fiber
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1-1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Zucchini noodles & Veggies Ingredients:

  • 2 medium zucchini, spiralized (you can also use pasta)
  • 1-1/2 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 large roma tomato, deseeded and diced

Coconut Shrimp Ingredients:

  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup Silk Almond Coconut Blend
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • Canola oil

Directions:

Cooking with Almond Milk: Zucchini AlfredoMelt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Once melted, add the garlic and lemon zest and lightly saute.
Add the flour, and whisk immediately until smooth, then add the Silk Almondmilk Protein + Fiber about 1/2 a cup at a time, whisking each time. Add salt and pepper.

Cooking with Almond Milk: Zucchini AlfredoOnce smooth, add Parmesan a little at a time, whisking until smooth.

Cooking with Almond Milk: Zucchini Alfredo When it reaches the desired thickness, stir in the chopped parsley.

Cooking with Almond Milk: Coconut ShrimpButterfly the shrimp by cutting along the outer curve almost all the way into the center and up the tail of the shrimp, just until it spreads flat.

Pat dry, and put aside.

Separate the dipping stations into 3 bowls, the first one is for the flour, salt, paprika, pepper and Cajun seasoning (mix well). The second is for the eggs and Silk Almond Coconut Blend (blend well together). The third is for the Panko and coconut (mix well).
Using a large dutch oven or deep frying pan, fill with at least 3-4 inches of canola oil. Over medium heat, warm until it sizzles when water droplets touch.

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
