This looks so good. I found your coconut chicken recipe on here and am making it for my husband tonight (he doesn't care for shrimp). Anyway, I also just figured out that all of my digestive and health problems are due to gluten intolerance/sensitivity. After years of trying to go vegan to stop the stomach upset- I'm back on the beef! Please keep posting, your recipes look great.
