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:
- Cook the Shrimp: In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sautรฉ for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
