Shrimp Alfredo – Gluten and Dairy Free

My son's favorite treat used to be Shrimp Alfredo. When he was diagnosed with an auto-immune disease he had to make major changes to his diet. He is now gluten, dairy, sugar and bean free. I was bound and determined to come up with creative, healthy and tasty recipes!

I'm so happy that I could cook him one of his favorites!!
