Looking for a quick takeout alternative that’s budget-friendly and healthy? This quick and Easy Keto Lo Mein With Shrimp is made in less than 30 minutes and it’s better than takeout!
Chinese is almost always my go-to choice for takeout but like most takeout foods they’re loaded with carbs so when I’m craving Chinese I rather make it at home myself.I’ve made Low Carb Egg Roll In A Bowl, Keto Cashew Chicken and even Sesame Cauliflower. The results are even better than takeout!
Easy Keto Lo Mein With Shrimp – Better Than Takeout
A recent asian dish that I made using low carb ingredients is this protein-packed Keto Shrimp Lo Mein. The key ingredient to this Keto Lo Mein recipe is Shirataki Noodles aka miracle noodles. You can find them in the produce section of your local grocery store.
Are Miracle Noodles Keto?
These low carb noodles have zero carbs and taste best when served in a stir fry. Perfect for those following a low carb Keto diet.
Will Miracle Noddles Keep You Full?
You bet! Miracle Noodles have no calories but they do have enough soluble fiber which helps you stay full longer!
How To Cook Miracle Noodles
Miracle Noodles are super easy to cook but they have to be cooked properly. Start by cutting open the bag of noodles with scissors and drain in a strainer and rinse with cold water.
Next, you’ll boil noodles for 2-3 minutes (make sure to use a timer).
Drain noodles and dry roast them (move them around the pan until dry) in your pan for 1 minute.
Follow these steps and your noodles will be good to go!
This low carb Chinese food recipe is incredibly easy to make and customize to your liking! In place of shrimp, you can choose to use ground beef, chicken or even a scrambled egg! For more spice, you can add pepper flakes or drizzle with extra hot sauce!
