    Crispy Gluten-free Coconut Shrimp

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    Celiac.com 07/16/2015 - Crispy coconut shrimp is a very popular dish these days. It’s easy enough in theory, to make, but also easy to get wrong. And even most places that do it right don’t do it gluten-free. To do it right, all the ingredients must be fresh. To do it right, and gluten-free, well, that’s what this recipe is about. This recipe does crispy coconut shrimp right…and gluten-free.

    There is so much to love about this southeast Asian desert. It’s creamy and sweet and it tastes great warm or cold. It’s also simple to put together and one of those meals that just tastes like summer. I’m a sucker for mangoes, but if you already have them on hand, sweet oranges, or juicy satsumas make a fine substitute. Toasted coconut makes a nice topping for a bit of tasty texture.
    Ingredients:
    1 cup rice
    1 14-ounce can coconut milk
    1 cup fresh mango chunks
    ½ cup mango juice
    ½ cup water
    1 tablespoon butter
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1 pinch of salt
    Directions:
    Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over high heat. Add rice and stir until well-coated. Slowly add coconut milk, mango juice, water and salt and bring to a boil.
    Cover rice and reduce heat to...

    As a kid, shrimp was one of my perpetual favorite foods. If something had shrimp in it, I'd probably eat try it. Shrimp is the reason I first tried gumbo, teriyaki, scampi, fried rice and coconut curry.
    I think that the vast majority of my exposure to international cuisine came out of my love for the lowly, bottom-dwelling, water bug that is the shrimp. I still one them to this day. This recipe grabs them hot off the grill and tosses them into a pile of rice noodles in a delicious Southeast-Asian inspired sauce. This is a great way to dip your culinary toes in Asian waters without breaking the bank or freaking out the taste buds of more timid eaters.
    Ingredients:
    14 ounces flat rice noodles
    ½ cup fresh lime juice
    ⅓ cup fish sauce
    ½ cup packed light brown sugar
    2 c...
