Author Notes
My wife and I own an eatery and catering company in downtown Asheville, NC called 67 Biltmore and we feature fresh & seasonal comfort foods. This is one of the recipes that our customers love the most in the hot Spring and Summer months in the South. It features gluten free noodles and coastal shrimp! It is a fresh and healthy recipe that hits your taste buds in a lot of ways. It's salty, sour, a little sweet, and spicy! —67biltmore
