To get started, process the soaked cashews with a bit of water in a blender. Pulse until you get a thick homogeneous mixture and place into a large mixing bowl. Whisk in four tablespoons of olive oil with fresh lime juice before adding in the poblano chiles, cubanelle peppers, scallions, and bread cubes. Mix well and let it sit for at least 10 minutes.

In the meantime, blend the chopped cucumber and heirloom tomatoes. Pulse until you get a thick liquid and add in the mixture from the mixing bowl. Process until you get a thick green soup and place the gazpacho in the refrigerator to chill for at least 15 minutes.

While the gazpacho chills, heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the shrimp in a single layer for five minutes, flipping halfway through. When fully cooked, the shrimp will turn into a bright pink color.

To serve, divide the gazpacho into individual bowls and top with sautéed shrimp. Drizzle a bit of olive oil over the top and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley. Serve and enjoy!

Tip: You can also replace soaked cashews and water with 1 ½ cups of plain coconut yogurt or cashew yogurt.
