Low-FODMAP (no) butter-shrimp is a delicious, fragrant, flavorful low-FODMAP Indian meal that will satisfy your cravings.
I have loved Indian food since I was a medical student when I had the incredible experience of traveling to Nepal and India for 8 weeks to work in clinics and hospitals. Even though it was over 2 decades ago, I can still smell the incense and hear the music that infused the streets. What an unbelievably magical, beautiful and inspiring part of the world.
When I began low-FODMAP eating, I missed these flavors so dearly. It is such a pleasure to now be able to cook these low-FODMAP Indian food! This low-FODMAP (no) butter shrimp recipe will stimulate your palate and fill your home with delicious aromas.
