Instructions
- Step 1: In a blender or food processor, combine 1/4 cup raw cashews, 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, 2 tbsp coconut aminos, and 1/4 cup water. Blend until smooth and creamy; set aside.
- Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 3 cups broccoli florets and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until bright green and just tender. Remove broccoli and set aside.
- Step 3: Add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to the skillet. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp fresh grated ginger, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add 1 lb peeled and deveined large shrimp, season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
- Step 4: Return broccoli to the skillet with shrimp. Pour the cashew-lime sauce over and toss to coat everything evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until heated through and sauce thickens slightly.
- Step 5: Adjust seasoning with remaining 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper if needed. Serve immediately.
