Super Delicious & Gluten-Free Meal Guide, Recipe Post #364: Quick Gluten-Free Garlic Parmesan Shrimp with Zucchini Noodles

Being gluten free can be a life changing experience – and a delicious one too! Gluten free foods include simple, fresh, and natural items like fruits, vegetables, meats, fish, eggs, nuts, seeds, and legumes. Grains like rice, quinoa, and amaranth are also gluten free, which means you still get to enjoy lots of yummy carbs like gluten free pasta, oatmeal, and desserts. Going gluten free can improve your digestive system, allow for better nutrient absorption, help with weight loss and reduce inflammation. Not sure where to start? Try replacing wheat pasta with quinoa, corn tortillas instead of wheat, and light, crispy snacks like rice cakes. There’s lots of exciting and tasty recipes out there! Going gluten free can really be a delightful and delicious journey.
