🥛Milk🦐Shellfish🌾WheatSwaps and substitutions
For a shellfish-free version, swap the shrimp for seared mushrooms or chickpeas to keep the protein high. For dairy-free needs, replace the butter, cream cheese, and parmesan with plant-based alternatives; for gluten-free, use gluten-free pasta and crumbs.
What to serve with it
Serve with a crisp green salad or garlicky roasted broccoli to balance the rich, spicy sauce. A chilled white wine or sparkling water with lemon also fits well.
