• Cucumber - 1 small, grated
• Almond yogurt - 150 grams
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Dill - 1 tablespoon, chopped

Steps

2. While the tzatziki is chilling, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the vegan shrimp. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are heated through and slightly crispy on the edges.
