Thai shrimp with fish sauce & nuts – gluten & soy free

June 20, 2016 by Lisa Grable 2 Comments

Thai shrimp is a quick dinner that has the Asian taste we crave without the soy. With brown rice, mixed vegetables, and slivered almonds, it’s a tasty light dinner. You can enjoy this gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, egg-free thai shrimp with fish sauce and nuts dinner for about 400 calories.Thai shrimp with fish sauce makes a spicy, sour, and sweet meal. Gluten free, dairy free, egg free, soy free. Full of flavor for 412 calories!

This is the third in a series of dinners we are making to reset to a healthier eating strategy.

You will need a sharp knife, skillet or sauté pan, and cooking spoon or spatula.400-cal-shrimp - 1

Add garlic, jalapeño pepper, fish sauce, sugar, juice, apple cider vinegar, and hot sauce to the sauté pan. Raise the heat to medium and bring to a boil. Reduce heat if needed to simmer until thickened.400-cal-shrimp - 2

  • Tip: You can use fresh veggies (like squash or broccoli) and cook them or use a nice frozen blend. At Casa Bouquet, we like a mix with black beans, snap peas, and carrots.
  • Need it even “cleaner”? Use lime juice and raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar.
  • Tip: To cook brown rice: Bring 3 cups of water and a pinch of salt to a boil. Stir in 1 cup of brown rice. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Taste for doneness (you may need to add 5 more minutes cooking time.) When done, remove the rice from the pot with a slotted spoon if some water is remaining. You can make larger batches and freeze by 1 cup in reclosable plastic freezer bag.
  • To defrost frozen cooked shrimp: Place shrimp in a bowl of cold tap water for 20 minutes. Pour into a colander and rinse.
  • To prepare fresh shrimp: Peel the shrimp. Pull off the vein on the back (you might need tweezers.) Bring 6 cups of water to a boil. Add the shrimp and simmer for 2 to 4 minutes or until the shrimp just turn pink. Drain the shrimp, pull off the tails, and reserve for simmering in the sauce.
