How to Make Thai Almond Butter Shrimp

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup chicken stock and 1/2 cup diced tomatoes. Simmer over low heat for 2 minutes.
  2. Add 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk and simmer for another 3 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened and the flavors have melded.
  3. Add 1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp to the saucepan and cook for 5 minutes, or until pink and cooked through.
  4. Remove the shrimp from the saucepan and set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons almond butter and 1 tablespoon apple sauce until smooth. Stir the almond butter mixture into the thickened sauce.
  5. Return the shrimp to the sauce, ensuring they are well coated. Serve immediately, garnished with extra tomato slices (optional).
