Non-Dairy Buttered Noodles with Italian Shrimp #Recipe

I love when a dinner idea comes together so deliciously.
I also love when there are yummy leftovers to pack for lunch the next day.

Since personally going dairy free (for health reasons), I've been trying to plan meals as best I can to fit everyones dietary needs, and wants, in my household. Gluten free... Dairy free... Nut free... lower protein (less meat)... more Omega-3... 

This dish was a hit! It was filling without being "heavy" and was able to fit into our needs as a family.

(Depending on the brands you use, this recipe can also be egg free & soy free.)

Oh and um, don't mind my mixed noodles in my dish. I thought I had more gluten-free spaghetti noodles left than I actually did. Wait, I mean... uh, I did that on purpose. Yeah... for texture, aaaand and dramatic effect for photos... and stuff. *ahem* lol
