Keto Noodles With Shrimp Sauce
These keto noodles with shrimp sauce feature tender shrimp, creamy sauce, and aromatic herbs, creating a dish that feels indulgent while keeping you on track with your keto goals.
Ingredients
- 8.75 oz (250 g) cleaned shrimp (we used cleaned frozen shrimp)
- 13.3 oz (380 g) keto noodles (e.g. Better Than Noodles or other noodles made from konnyaku flour; prepared as per instructions on the package)
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 medium-size tomato, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
- 13.3 fl oz (400 ml) heavy cream
- a pinch of kosher salt and ground black peppers
- 3-4 basil leaves for serving
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- Cook the noodles as per instructions on the packaging (if needed).
- Add olive oil, finely chopped onion, and garlic to a heated pan. Cook until the onion becomes translucent, 2-3 minutes. Ensure that the garlic doesn't burn (adjust the heat accordingly).
- Add the chopped tomato, sprinkle with salt, and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Add shrimp, cover the pan with a lid, and simmer for a couple of minutes.
- Add heavy cream, salt and pepper to taste, and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Finally, stir in the noodles and serve with fresh basil leaves.
Notes
- Pat the Shrimp Dry: The best way to remove excess water from the shrimp before cooking is to pat dry using kitchen paper towels. It will prevent excess water from thinning the sauce.
- Noodles like shirataki, zucchini noodles, spaghetti squash noodles, or almond flour-based pasta are great options for minimal carbs and great texture.
