Gluten Free Shrimp Pad Thai
Rainy weather makes me crave Pad Thai, but it’s not always easy to find a gluten free option of this dish. Here is a gluten free Shrimp Pad Thai recipe that I found that is easy to follow.
Important Note: Be sure that you use gluten free fish sauce, soy sauce, and Pad Thai rice noodles to keep this recipe gluten free. I found gluten free chooses for these three sauces at Sprouts Farmers Market.
