Another delicious shrimp recipe! Low carb, Keto friendly and amazingly delicious!
Our family loves shrimp! It’s delicious and we eat it frequently. This is one of my favourite shrimp recipes and the kids love it too!
As always I need an easy shrimp recipe because the easier the better for me, especially on a hectic night! This is really quick and the lime, garlic and cilantro give this amazing flavour. This can be served as is, or as part of a salad. You can also serve over cauliflower rice which is wonderful!
I love making low carb, keto friendly meals with everyday ingredients that I already have on hand. Making a lifestyle change doesn’t have to be complicated. Following a ketogenic lifestyle and drinking Keto/os has been a game changer for me. I feel like a completely new person and 10 years younger! I wake up each day with lots of energy and I feel my best and I am so excited about that! That’s why I try to share this with others to help them be their best as well.

Love it. Now make a heavy cream sauce, add the Lime Shrimp, and serve over Riced Cauliflower (or rice or fettucine, if you aren’t doing low-carb)
