Ingredients:

• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• 8 ounces cooked and drained keto-friendly pasta (zoodles, cauliflower rice, or shirataki noodles)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Shrimp: In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
2. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet. Season them with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside.
3. Prepare the Alfredo Sauce: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
4. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder. Continue to simmer, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and the cheese is fully melted, about 5 minutes.
5. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, and gently stir them into the Alfredo sauce. Allow them to heat through for another 2-3 minutes.
6. Serve the Keto Shrimp Alfredo: Divide the cooked keto-friendly pasta (zoodles, cauliflower rice, or shirataki noodles) among four plates. Spoon the creamy shrimp Alfredo sauce over the pasta.
7. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.

Note: This Keto Shrimp Alfredo is a creamy, dreamy dish that proves you don’t have to sacrifice taste for a low-carb meal.
