🥛Milk🦐Shellfish🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For a gluten-free plate, swap the wheat pasta for gluten-free orzo or another small gluten-free grain. If avoiding shellfish, use firm tofu or halloumi instead of the shrimp, and choose a dairy-free option only if the recipe’s creamy elements are adapted.
What to serve with it
Serve with warm pita or a simple green salad to round out the bright shrimp and pasta. A crisp white wine or sparkling water with lemon keeps the meal light and fresh.
