Description of Fody's Low FODMAP Shrimp Tacos with Green Enchilada Sauce

When I heard that Fody was coming out with a Green Enchilada Sauce, I was overcome with anticipation. Having spoken with Monash University I knew that tomatillos had been lab tested and that results were coming soon. This sauce would be the first to incorporate them and I couldn’t wait. This recipe for Fody Low FODMAP Shrimp Tacos with Green Enchilada Sauce was my first use of the sauce and I immediately saw the versatility. I know you are going to want to keep this sauce in your pantry, too! This dish is special enough for guests (who don’t mind eating with their hands), yet easy and quick enough for a weeknight.


Why Shrimp Are a Great Low FODMAP Protein

Shrimp are an excellent choice for Low FODMAP shrimp tacos because they are a protein food and naturally contain no FODMAPs. That means there is no portion restriction, making shrimp a dependable option for anyone building confidence with Low FODMAP dinner ideas, especially during the elimination phase.

Beyond being Low FODMAP, shrimp are a lean protein that fits well into easy Low FODMAP dinner planning. They cook quickly, absorb seasoning beautifully, and pair naturally with bold Mexican-inspired flavors, making them a smart foundation for Low FODMAP Mexican food that still feels exciting.

When shopping, look for shrimp without added preservatives like sodium tripolyphosphate or sodium bisulfite, which can affect texture and flavor and may bother some individuals. Both fresh and frozen shrimp work well in this Low FODMAP shrimp recipe. Frozen shrimp are especially convenient and can be thawed quickly under cool running water before cooking.

This recipe uses large 28 to 30-count shrimp, which stay juicy in the skillet and hold up well in tortillas without overcooking.

FAQ

Yes. Shrimp are a protein-rich food and naturally contain no FODMAPs, so there is no portion restriction when enjoying them. This makes shrimp an especially reliable choice for people following a Low FODMAP approach who want meals that feel filling and satisfying. When shrimp are paired with Low FODMAP ingredients such as corn tortillas, garlic-infused oil, and Fody Green Enchilada Sauce, shrimp tacos become a flavorful option that fits easily into everyday cooking. Recipes like this are helpful during the elimination phase, when ingredient confidence matters most. Because shrimp cook quickly and absorb seasoning well, they also work nicely for weeknight meals, making these tacos a practical and enjoyable way to explore Low FODMAP Mexican food without added stress.

Fresh garlic is high in fructans and is not suitable for a Low FODMAP diet, even in small amounts. Garlic-infused oil, however, is a safe alternative because fructans are water-soluble and do not transfer into oil during the infusion process. This allows you to enjoy the flavor of garlic without the carbohydrates that can cause digestive discomfort. Using garlic-infused oil is a common technique in Low FODMAP cooking and works especially well in taco recipes where garlic flavor is traditionally expected. This recipe uses Fody Garlic Infused Olive Oil to build savory depth while keeping the dish gut-friendly. It’s a dependable way to season proteins, vegetables, and sauces, so tacos still taste familiar, bold, and satisfying without fresh garlic.

In addition to feta, radishes, and cilantro, there are many ways to customize tacos while keeping them Low FODMAP. Shredded green or red cabbage adds crunch when used in appropriate portions, while small amounts of avocado add creaminess. Lactose-free sour cream, shredded carrots, scallion greens using only the green part, pickled jalapeños, and fresh lime juice are also flexible topping options. These ingredients allow you to adjust the texture, heat, and freshness to suit your personal preference. It’s important to avoid store-bought salsa or guacamole that contains onion or garlic, as these are common triggers. Choosing Fody salsas or sauces instead helps keep tacos simple, flavorful, and consistent with Low FODMAP eating.
