Keto Garlic Butter Shrimp with Zucchini Noodles
Ingredients:
1 lb (450g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 medium zucchini (spiralized into noodles)
3 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions:
Prepare the Zucchini Noodles:
Use a spiralizer to create zucchini noodles (zoodles). Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Set aside.
Cook the Shrimp:
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the shrimp to the skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp and set aside.
Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium. Add the remaining butter and olive oil.
Stir in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using), and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Combine Everything:
Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss them gently in the garlic butter sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly tender but not mushy.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the mixture. Stir to combine.
Finish and Serve:
Sprinkle the dish with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy a warm, flavorful, and keto-friendly meal.
Tips for Perfect Keto Seafood Dishes:
Use fresh seafood for the best flavor and nutritional value.
Opt for high-quality butter and olive oil to enhance taste and ensure a good source of healthy fats.
Experiment with other seafood like scallops, salmon, or crab for variety.
For added richness, drizzle some keto-friendly heavy cream into the sauce before serving.
