Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon Squid ink
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 pound Shrimp
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, and xanthan gum.

Step 2

Add squid ink, eggs, olive oil, and water to the dry mixture. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough for 2-3 minutes until smooth. If the dough is too sticky, add a light dusting of coconut flour.

Step 4

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

Step 5

Once chilled, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. Cut into thin strips to resemble pasta.

Step 6

Bring a pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Drop in the pasta and cook for 1-2 minutes until firm. Drain and set aside.

Step 7

In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Step 8

Add shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through. Remove shrimp and set aside.

Step 9

Pour heavy cream into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Stir in Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 10

Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce.

Step 11

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss until evenly combined with the sauce.

Step 12

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
