Many seniors live alone as they enter later stages in life. Cooking for one is not an easy task to do, but this easy shrimp and mushroom sauté for one makes it a little simpler. With few ingredients and minimal cooking time, this dish is a delicious option for a senior who can cook for themselves (or a caregiver with a little time on their hands).
This recipe calls for coconut aminos, which may be a new ingredient to some but certainly not one to fear. In this recipe, coconut aminos serve as a lower-sodium alternative to soy sauce, which helps keep sodium at bay for seniors monitoring their intake.
