Herbed Shrimp with Dairy-Free Tzatziki~It's What's for Dinner Weekend Addition

Hubby was in the mood for shrimp, so we tried out this new recipe I found on the autoimmune paleo  blog. The original recipe can be found here.

The recipe was perfect as our youngest is home visiting and recently received the results of her food sensitivity tests back.  She is now on a Dairy Free diet amongst other things!

Super simple to prepare, and a great light meal for the summer months.  We served it alongside microwaved steamed spinach.
