AIP Shrimp Cocktail with Tomato-Less Sauce Recipe
I had to dig deep to come up with a fitting substitute for cocktail sauce that works within the autoimmune protocol, but I’m delighted to share it now! Step your appetizer game up a notch with this AIP shrimp cocktail with tomato-less sauce recipe.
How I Made it AIP-Friendly
It’s not the shrimp that poses a problem for your autoimmune diet, it’s the cocktail sauce, which is typically a blend of ketchup and mayo. This recipe steers clear of both of these.
Regular ketchup blends tomatoes, a member of the nightshade family that’s unkind to many with autoimmune conditions, and sugar. My ketchup is free of tomatoes, and also sugar-free and easy on your digestion.
Rather, it’s a delicious blend of beet and carrot sauce. If you’re cooking for others, have fun trying to get them to guess the ingredients!
