Kids’ plate: Shrimp noodles
On the plate: Plain shrimp and soft rice noodles with tender zucchini, set aside before the lemon-butter sauce and parsley.
Make it a game: Twirl the noodles into little nests and tuck a shrimp beside each one. The zucchini can be a green ribbon.
Set it aside at step 3, before the grown-ups’ sauce or spice goes on.
Why it works
- Celiac disease: Certified gluten-free rice noodles, rice flour and stock keep hidden gluten out.
- Kid (4–12): Mild shrimp, soft noodles and tender zucchini make familiar forkfuls.
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.
