Easy Keto Shrimp Recipe
Report
Tender and juicy shrimp sauteed in a creamy parmesan, garlic, and spinach sauce. Easy to make and ready in just under 30 minutes.
Share:
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp oil divided
- 2 lb raw jumbo shrimp
- 4-5 garlic cloves minced
- 1 cup fish or vegetable stock
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups packed baby spinach roughly chopped
- 1 cup fresh grated parmesan
- 1/2 tsp chili flakes or to taste
- kosher salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Sauté the shrimp for about 4 minutes, flipping halfway. We want it a bit undercooked at this point as it will continue to cook into the sauce. Set aside and cover to keep warm.
- To the same pan, heat the remaining oil and saute the garlic for 30 seconds.
- Add in the stock and allow it to bubble until reduced by half.
- Pour the cream, and once bubbling, stir in the spinach. Cook, stirring frequently, until the spinach is wilted, around 2 minutes.
- While the pan is still on the heat, stir in the parmesan, and return the shrimp back to the pan.
- Continue to cook for a couple of minutes, until shrimp is fully pink and opaque and the sauce is creamy and rich.
- Season to taste, if needed.
Notes
- Serving size: one cup or 1/4th of the amount
- Use raw shrimp and not pre-cooked
- Heavy cream: this recipe was intended to be high in fat and for those who are on keto. To reduce the fat content and make it a bit healthier, swap the heavy cream with lite coconut milk (in cans)
- Use freshly grated parmesan or use store-bought.
- Any oil of choice works.
- Spinach: we prefer that you use fresh spinach. If you must, use frozen but thaw ahead and drain.
- Be careful not to overcook the shrimp. You will end up with tough rubbery shrimp
