Gluten-Free Creamy Seafood Alfredo

Sharing is caring!

Gluten-Free Creamy Seafood Alfredo is so creamy and deletable. Needless to say, you won’t even notice that in place of pasta there is spiralized butternut squash. So creamy, tasty and full of flavor.

We don’t tend to eat a lot of seafood in my house. If you have read my bio on my blog then you know my mother is from Sweden. As a child, we tended to eat a lot of seafood and fish. In Fact, my favorite fish dish that my mother would make is either Idaho Rainbow Trout or Fiskgratang. Sweden is surrounded by water and because of this tend to eat a lot of fish. My mother who is almost 80 recently took a trip by herself to Sweden. Needless to say, I cannot tell you how very proud I am of her for traveling by herself at her age.

Not to mention, I had shrimp and Langostino meat in my freezer. I decided to make some sort of seafood dish. My spiralizer has never been used. Butternut squash sat in my fridge. I was in the mood for pasta but since I can’t eat grains I started thinking about substitutes that I could use. The butternut squash was calling to me. My mind started racing ahead and I peeled the squash then cut it in half and put it on the spiralizer and spiralized the squash. In fact, the squash when spiralized made a hefty amount of what I called vegetable pasta. Raw squash was added to the dish and cooked with the seasonings and liquids.

Gluten-Free Creamy Seafood Alfredo Notes:

Furthermore, might I suggest that you use your favorite white wine. Incidentally, the creamy parmesan alfredo sauce is so decadent and delectable you won’t even notice the noodles are not pasta.  However, if you don’t own a spiralizer check them out on Amazon.

Nevertheless, this dish goes extremely well with Bacon and Cheddar Scones.

The lemon zest, lemon juice, wine, heavy cream, and parmesan give this dish a fresh and creamy texture with slight acidity and texture from the squash.
