As for the Whole Foods shrimp, they are sweet and tender Georgia whites, caught by U.S. shrimpers at the peak of season and frozen within hours of catching to lock in their freshness. They are of course, sulfite-free. According to Whole Foods, shell-on white shrimp make the perfect fall meal – simply sauté, broil, bake, grill, or stir-fry. These also make a simple, low-fat supper when boiled and served with cocktail sauce and a side salad. Whether you catch the sale or not, below is a simple and nutritious Miso Soup with Shrimp recipe, plus some more inspirational dairy-free shrimp recipes:

Quick notes Miso is made from fermenting soybeans, barley, chickpeas, or rice and is available in white, yellow, red and brown. Generally, the darker the miso the longer it has fermented and the more complex its flavor will be. Look for miso in the refrigerated section near meat substitutes. Variations For Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free soba noodles, or simply your favorite gluten-free noodle brand. Avoid miso that is fermented with barley. For Soy-Free: Believe it or not, not all miso is soy-based. Seek out a rice, chickpea, or barley version and verify the ingredients.
