Combine all pesto ingredients in a food processor and puree until smooth, then set aside. You should have the consistency of a smooth paste.
Place a deep skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Saute veggie sausages until golden brown on each side, then remove the sausages and set aside. Add another tablespoon of olive oil and saute cauliflower florets until golden brown, then remove and set aside. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and saute shrimp, then add salt, pepper and almond milk.
Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 1 minute. Turn the heat off and add boiled conchiglie into the shrimp mixture, then add pesto and broccoli rabe and mix until all the conchiglie is coated with all the ingredients. Transfer conchiglie into a serving plate and top with cauliflower and veggie sausage. Enjoy.
