What You Will Need To Make Gluten Free Shrimp Scampi:

Noodles-I love using Jovials’s cassava noodles. They are naturally AIP, whole30, and paleo friendly. They taste just like the real thing and are gluten free. If you are going for the lower carb option I suggest using zucchini noodles. You can make yours fresh or buy them frozen which can be much easier.

Shrimp-I like using shrimp with the tail on for this recipe. I order all of my seafood and meats from Butcher Box because Butcher Box sends you a customized box of meats every single month. Everything from them is grass fed and wild caught. If you use this link, you can get a discount off your first order.

Ghee-Ghee is my go to fat for all paleo cooking. It tastes just like butter minus all of the proteins that typically bother people that cannot tolerate dairy.

Bone broth-You can make your own or you can buy it. I like this brand

Lemon juice-Do not skip! This will add so much more flavor.

Garlic-Garlic is what makes shrimp scampi, shrimp scampi! Do not skip 🙂

Red and black pepper-Skip if you are doing AIP.

Sea salt-I like pink sea salt.

Fresh parsley-to garnish.

How To Make Gluten Free Shrimp Scampi:

First, you will need to defrost your shrimp.

Now if you are making actual spaghetti and not veggie pasta, boil water with some salt in it. Now, once the water is brought to a boil add the pasta and cook until the noodles are done based off of package instructions.

After the shrimp is thawed, add half of the ghee to the pan with 6 cloves of garlic, sea salt and lemon, juiced. Let this sauté for about a minute. The shrimp needs to be in a single layer so if not all of it will fit and that is ok, you can make this in two batches.

Next, add the shrimp to the pan. Cook for 2 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Now, Add the red pepper, bone broth, and black pepper to the shrimp (SKIP FOR AIP.)

Set the shrimp aside and repeat these steps until all of the shrimp is cooked. Use the remaining ingredients.

Lastly, once the pasta is cooked, strain it and nicely coat with olive oil if desired. Set the pasta in a large bowl. Once the shrimp is done pour the ghee sauce and shrimp on top. Garnish with fresh parsley.
