The peppered shrimp for this is pretty easy, just fry the vegan shrimp (by Vegetarian Plus) up with oil and pepper. For the sauce, it's just a basic roux sauce with lots of freshly ground peppercorns (I love the 4 peppercorn blend for a deep, warm flavor) and earth balance, and to make it "alfredo" I added a ton of Daiya mozzarella-style vegan cheese and a dash of lemon juice. Simply serve over spinach fettuccine noodles (or any noodles, really), and voila! A fancy dish good enough to serve to two in candlelight.
An exploration into the syncretism of traditional soul food flavor, five-star chef artistry (sometimes), and healthier vegan ingredients.
