- Cook the sauce in your warm cast iron skillet. Add in half the jar of sundried tomatoes (tomatoes and oil), plus the 3/4 cup canned coconut cream. Cook, stirring occasionally for 2-3 minutes until the sauce reduces and thickens.1/2 jar sundried tomatoes in oil, 3/4 cup canned coconut cream
- Cook the shrimp by adding all the shrimp to the warm sauce. Cook the shrimp on the first side for 2 minutes, then flip.
- Warm the hearts of palm pasta. I love to pour it on to a few paper towels and squeeze out any extra moisture so it doesn't water down my sauce. Add the hearts of palm linguine to the shrimp and sauce, tossing to coat completely.18 ounces hearts of palm pasta

Notes
Shrimp: Trader Joe's Argentinian Red Shrimp is my favorite because it's wild caught, already has the shell + tail removed, is deveined, plus tastes delicious! But any shrimp would do.
Protein: This would also be amazing with italian pork sausage, chicken sausage, chicken thighs, chicken breast, etc.
Coconut Cream: I love using canned coconut cream because it has the most amount of fat, and gives me the thickest sauce. You barely taste the coconut once it cooks. If you're ok with dairy, you could use heavy cream instead! Another great option would be original flavor Nutpods.
Hearts of Palm Linguine: Hearts of palm is my favorite keto friendly pasta because it doesn't get watery when cooking, and holds up really well. You could also use zucchini noodles. Or this would be great served over cauliflower rice! I also love Natural Heaven hearts of palm pasta (code TASTESLOVELY for 15% off)
Reheating: I would reheat this in a cast iron skillet, or microwave for 3 minutes.
