Sassy Sun Dried Tomato Confit with Shrimp!

Sauce matters, friends! You can pretty much take any protein, vegetable, or carb product (just as long as it's clean), smother it with sauce, and your ordinary meal turns into an extraordinary one! Preparing sauces with fresh and simple ingredients gives your body an added dose of nutrition it craves. My sun dried tomato confit with shrimp pairs perfect with spaghetti squash, but feel to get creative and utilize what's in your pantry! It can go with practically any clean carb! GF pasta, sweet potatoes,  and quinoa included! 

Enjoy, sassy fam!
