1. Shrimp Pasta (Keto Substitution for Pasta)

You can easily make this shrimp pasta a keto recipe by removing some of the pasta from this marinated shrimp dinner! We recommend substituting ‘keto’ pasta for regular pasta using mozzarella cheese and egg yolks. Or, you can substitute keto-friendly pasta in this recipe.

Combine the mozzarella and egg yolks to make keto pasta. Then you can begin to cook your shrimp. We recommend using fresh shrimp peeled and deveined. If you need frozen shrimp, you can do that too.

Season the shrimp using olive oil, onion, and peppers. Add the fresh mushrooms and butter to the pan to add even more flavor. Cook the shrimp for 10 minutes and top with cheese and parsley before serving!

2. Shrimp and Grits (Keto Substitution for Grits)

Then, make your shrimp by sauteing it in a pan with onion, green pepper, garlic, and butter. Then you are ready to serve!

3. Marinated Shrimp
