TURKEY-BACON-AVOCADO KALE WRAPS Paleo lunches are usually just leftovers or salads, so there are times when I definitely miss wraps and sandwiches. Usually I’ll make lettuce wraps, and those are good, but they aren’t really as flexible as a traditional tortilla. I...
SIMPLE SAUTÉED KALE This is the most basic of kale recipes, and yet one of my favorites. I like to use it as a base for all sorts of proteins—I just plate it and put chicken or shrimp or whatever else I happen to be making that night right on top. You can customize it...
THAI SHRIMP SALAD A Thai-inspired shrimp salad has got to be one of the most refreshing and satisfying meals out there. When you order it in a restaurant, the dressing tends to be loaded with sugar, so I made this Paleo-friendly version for when I’m hit with a Thai...
SHRIMP STIR-FRY Stir-fries were never my favorite as a kid—something about the large quantity of vegetables didn’t sit right with me, and I disliked cooked green bell peppers, which usually play a key role. But my palate changed as I grew up, and when I started...
SHRIMP SALAD WITH TOMATO AND LEMON When I was first learning to cook for myself, one of my favorite recipes was a shrimp and orzo salad with feta cheese that was served at room temperature, kind of—the pasta was warm and the shrimp was cold, and it was just really...
SHRIMP KEBABS My brother and I made kebabs for our dad one Father’s Day—it seemed like the perfect summer Sunday dinner. They take a little time to put together, but they cook super fast, especially when using shrimp. I love making kebabs for a party because I usually...
SHRIMP GUMBO When I think of gumbo, I usually think of rice, so for a long time I didn’t make it—but gumbo itself is actually very Paleo-friendly. Traditional gumbos start with a roux, which includes flour, but I skip it completely and am always really happy with the...
PAELLA If you’ve ever had paella, then you know how complex and savory the flavors are. It’s a Spanish rice dish usually infused with saffron and loaded with lots of seafood and sometimes meat. Because the rice is arguably the main ingredient, a Paleo paella might...
GREEN SHRIMP I love this recipe because even though the flavors are super vibrant and strong, the shrimp itself is really versatile and can be added to a great number of meals. I love these “green shrimp” in the spring and summer with a squeeze of lemon—the herby...
BLACKENED SHRIMP TACOS When it comes to non-Paleo food, my favorites are Asian and Mexican. It’s hard for me to resist a taco, so when I find a place that offers lettuce cups instead of tortillas, I feel like I’ve won the lottery. That’s how I make them at home, and...
