Classic Shrimp Francese
Ok, Shrimp Francese is one of my new favorite things. Our chef told me that it was a popular dish in New York. It's now popular in Florida too because honestly, I have been craving it since she made it. So delicious! The shrimp were perfectly seasoned and cooked.
We chose to cook the shrimp in Kelapo Coconut Oil & Ghee. A new partner company of ours where will begin sourcing our ghee. Surprisingly, they are local to our area! Thanks to Kelapo's Coconut Oil and Ghee blend, the shrimp has a delicate buttery lemon flavor that I couldn't get enough of. This is a simple AIP dish to prepare and make but looks complex once the finished product is plated. Impress your family and friends and make some for dinner!
