How to make Keto Alfredo Shrimp
In less than 10 minutes, you can have this delicious keto shrimp recipe on the table with just a few common ingredients you probably already have in your fridge!
And by a “few” ingredients, I really mean there are ONLY 5 ingredients in this shrimp recipe;Butter, Shrimp, Asparagus, Cream and Parmesan Cheese. If you are feeling fancy, sprinkle a little parsley and parmesan garnish on top.
Grab your favorite large skillet, give your shrimp & asparagus a quick sauté over medium-high heat, then add the Alfredo ingredients then — > Boom.Dinner is served.
When a gluten-free meal is this easy and quick, meal prep is kinda obsolete, right?!?
You can swap the parmesan cheese for Romano or Asiago if you’d prefer and feel free to toss in a few cloves garlic or pinch of red pepper flakes if you’re looking for an extra pop of flavor in your low-carb Shrimp Alfredo Recipe.
Doesn’t it look delicious???
You can use fresh or frozen asparagus, but I’m going to ask that you put the extra effort into choosing wild caught shrimp and sticking with a non-toxic skillet, like this ONE.
What side dishes go best with Keto Shrimp Alfredo?
The sky is the limit when it comes to side dishes for this keto-friendly shrimp recipe with only 1 grams net carb. But here’s a few that I like the best:
- Keto Pasta of your choice, including spaghetti squash, zucchini noodles or Zero Carb Pasta
- Cauliflower rice
- Sautéed Vegetables; in place of the asparagus or in addition to. Broccoli, bell peppers, onions, etc.
- Steak. Go ahead laugh but when you’re eating keto it’s all about the zero carb foods so do your surf & turf best with a side of steak.
