surf and turf revisited: lemongrass basil hearts of palm noodles with savory shrimp and steak burgers featuring Kevins naturals foods sauce

A month or so ago, I was given the opportunity to create some recipes with Kevin’s Natural Foods sauces. To be honest, I had never tried or even heard of them- however, now that I have: they will be part of my pantry staples from now on.

First of all, they are delicious, AND clean. As in, there’s no junk in there. It like a sauce I would make, only I don’t have to do all the work. (neither does my dishwasher)

One of the first sauces I tried was the cilantro lime sauce, which incorporates my two favorite flavors. This sauce pairs excellent with beef, so I added the sauce to ground sirloin, so each bite is filled with outstanding flavors.

I also incorporated the sauce into a condiment by mixing it with dairy free sour cream. Topped with fresh cilantro and placed on a low carb bun, it’s absolutely heavenly.

Now…. generally you’d have fries with this meal, but I opted for some fresh sliced beefsteak tomatoes, which of course could be added to the burger itself.

As for a side dish?

Consider the surf and turf… with a twist.

We have the turf covered with the steak burger, and now….

How does a warm bowl of hearts of palm noodles topped with a creamy lemongrass basil sauce sound?

The shrimp are first marinated in the Kevin’s Natural foods Lemongrass Basil sauce, then quickly sautéed ; and placed on a bed of Hearts Of Palm noodles. If you haven’t tried them yet- they are amazing. You can find them in cans in the pasta section of your local store.

I added the remaining sauce to 1 tablespoon tahini to create a creamy coat of velvety sauce for the “noodles”.

This was my “twist” on the classic surf and turf…

I’d highly recommend these sauces- right from the pouch or made into more. The possibilities are endless.
