Why it works
- Hashimoto's thyroiditis: Naturally gluten-free and soy-free: shrimp, brown rice and corn seasoned with garlic, lemon and olive oil.
- Celiac disease: Nothing here carries gluten: plain shrimp, rice and vegetables cooked in one skillet with olive oil and butter.
- Type 2 diabetes: Brown rice with plenty of shrimp, corn and spinach, no added sugar anywhere.
- Wheat allergy: No wheat, flour or breadcrumbs: the shrimp are seared bare in butter and olive oil.
- Gluten-free: Every ingredient is whole and gluten-free, so no hidden gluten in sauces or seasoning.
Celiac check: watch for hidden gluten in soy sauce, stock, malt vinegar and seasoning blends, and oats that aren’t certified. Gluten gives food ideas, not medical advice: always check labels for allergens and cross-contact.
