Happy #SeafoodSunday, Seafoodies!
In case you haven’t noticed, there are a lot more options for gluten-free (GF) eating these days. That’s welcome news for all the Seafoodies out there who avoid gluten, whether it’s because of Celiac disease or other health reasons or just personal preference. Of course, seafood, is naturally gluten-free.
But with the influx of GF products on the market, you can adapt just about any formerly gluten-full seafood recipe — crab cakes, fish sticks, seafood pastas — to the GF lifestyle, too. Check out our roundup of GF recipe ideas to see what we’re talking about!
Where to start? How about some Alaska halibut grilled with a kicky, homemade pesto, or tender salmon baked in an addictive, ginger-garlic marinade? Both deliver a perfect “10” on flavor while keeping prep time to a minimum. Or, if you’re a shellfish fan, we’ve got plenty of GF options, like cheesy, seafood-stuffed enchiladas, crab-stuffed acorn squash and spicy shrimp sautéed with tropical fruit and coconut.
Then there are the rice recipes. Oh, my! Sunny, Mediterranean shrimp bowls are a GF treat, and we offer two takes on fried rice: Thai-style, with lump crabmeat and chilis and Spanish-inspired, with shrimp, chorizo and paprika. And our roundup wouldn’t be complete without some “can’t believe it’s GF” dishes — crunchy lobster bites or lemony scallops linguine, anyone? Meals like these redefine what gluten-free can be.
Seafoodies, our philosophy is simple: gluten-free should be delicious. These GF dishes are so awesome that everyone — GF or not — will be clamoring for more.
Thankfully, seafood fits incredibly well into a GF meal plan, so you can enjoy all of its health benefits while sticking to your regimen. And no matter what your dietary preferences, these are dishes you can serve proudly, and no one at the table will miss a thing!
