Shrimp Scampi is a classic Italian dish that dates back centuries. While the dish has seen many variations over the years, Keto Garlic Butter Shrimp Scampi is a low-carb version that has become increasingly popular with health-conscious eaters.
Originating in the coastal Italian region of Liguria, Shrimp Scampi is traditionally made with shrimp, garlic, white wine, lemon, and butter. In the Keto version, the white wine is replaced with a low-carb white wine substitute and the butter is replaced with a low-carb garlic butter. The result is a delicious and healthy dish that is sure to satisfy even the most discerning palate.
The key to a great Keto Garlic Butter Shrimp Scampi is in the preparation – taking the time to let the flavors of the garlic and butter mingle before adding the shrimp. Start by heating a pan over medium-high heat. Add a few tablespoons of garlic butter, and let it melt and bubble. Once the butter is hot, add the shrimp, making sure to spread them out evenly. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp are just cooked through and pink.
Once the shrimp are cooked, take the pan off the heat and add the lemon juice and parsley. Mix everything together and serve immediately with a side of cooked vegetables.
