Eating keto Tuscan shrimp is a like a reward. The tender shrimp is coated in the creamy sauce and topped with sundried tomatoes.
What Is Tuscan Shrimp
I probably didn’t have to call it a keto-friendly recipe since traditional Tuscan recipes are naturally low-carb anyways! Whether it’s Tuscan chicken or shrimp, the base recipe is the same.
The meat is cooked to perfection in a broth with cream. Then, sundried tomatoes and spinach are added to the skillet.
Even though chicken is one of my family’s favorite types of protein, we also love shrimp! And this flavorful skillet meal is one of our favorites! I only had to make a few changes to keep it low-carb and ket0-friendly.
Keto Tuscan Shrimp
This recipe makes five servings and each serving has 6 grams net carbs. In order to keep this carb count low, I didn’t use any wine. And instead of pasta, I used a can of Palmini noodles.
Other than that, the entire recipe is pretty standard and follows the classic one that you know and love!
Easy Shrimp Recipe
Since this recipe stays true to the classic one, there is still a lot of room for culinary creativity. Just remember that if you make a bunch of changes, you might have to recalculate the amount of carbs in the dish.
Make this recipe with salmon instead of shrimp. It will be even more filling! And if you like a lot of spice, add some red pepper flakes. This will bring up the heat.
Swapping out baby arugula for baby shrimp is another really easy swap! Or mix arugula in with the shrimp. Either way, it’s a delicious dinner.
Italian Shrimp
Creamy Tuscan shrimp is a perfect thing to add to your weekly meal prep. Store a serving of it in your meal prep airtight container. Keep it in the refrigerator for up to three days.
In that time, the heavy cream and parmesan cheese might harden a bit. All you have to do is heat it up in the microwave or on the stove and the sauce will melt again.
What To Eat With Shrimp
This is a classic Italian recipe, so to make a full meal for your family you just have to add a few sides. Start out with a salad!
Since this is an Italian recipe, I like to make a copycat Olive Garden Salad. But if you want to try something different, make the popular Keto Tiktok Mini Peppers and Cucumber Salad.
My kids love it when I make keto garlic knots. They dip them in the creamy sauce.
Then, all you need is a veggie Keto Smashed Brown Butter Brussels Sprouts has flavors that taste amazing with the Tuscan shrimp.
For dessert, Crispy Keto Blueberry Cream Cheese Roll-Ups hit the spot!
