Skinny Shrimp Pad Thai Low Calorie Low Carb Gluten FREE

I’ve got a fantastic LIGHT and TASTY recipe for you today! Shirataki Noodle Shrimp Pad Thai Low Calorie Low Carb Gluten Free and DELICIOUS! Each serving weighs in at about 250 calories! This recipe makes it easy to cut the calories by using shirataki noodles instead of rice noodles. There are several brands of shirataki noodles, some made with tofu and some made from konjac yam.

Shirataki noodles have a chewy texture but they don’t have much flavor of their own allowing you to flavor them how ever you like. I’ve used them in this Garlic and Greens Shirataki Noodle recipe as well as this Shirataki Pasta Carbonara recipe.

My favorite shirataki noodles are angel hair made by Miracle Noodle. I used to buy them from my local grocery store but they no longer carry them. They’re available for purchase on Amazon in cases of six.

I’ve also tried Pasta Zero, Nasoya brand’s shirataki noodles which I can find in my local grocery store. I like them as well, they do the job but I prefer the texture of  Miracle Noodles to Pasta Zero.

You can make this a gluten free recipe if you like, the noodles are gluten free, just make sure the ingredients for the sauce don’t contain gluten. For the sauce I used unsweetened, natural peanut butter, fish sauce and Thai chili garlic paste. The brand of chili garlic paste I used contains wheat but if you want this to be a gluten free recipe try Thai Kitchen brand red chili paste.
