Open in Pepper →Shrimp Without the Sides That Wreck It
Shrimp is naturally keto-friendly — high protein, zero carbs — but most recipes wreck the macros by dropping the shrimp over pasta, rice, or a pile of breading.
Cooks on Pepper love this collection because every recipe keeps the shrimp as the star: garlic butter, lemon pan sauce, cream sauce, or served over zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice.
Every recipe here comes in under 8g net carbs per serving — proof that keto shrimp dinner can be as fast as a stir-fry and better than a takeout scampi.
Quick Tips
- 1
Buy peeled and deveined
Save 10 minutes and go straight to the pan — the price difference is worth it for a weeknight.
- 2
Pat the shrimp dry
Dry shrimp sears; wet shrimp steams. Paper-towel them before hitting the hot pan.
- 3
Serve over zoodles
Spiralized zucchini or cauliflower rice absorbs the pan sauce without the carbs of pasta.
- 4
Two minutes per side, max
Shrimp overcook fast — pull them at pink and let residual heat finish the job.
