INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTIONS:
SHRIMP:
- Shrimp will help in immediate cooking and have high-protein content. We can alternate it with salmon pieces, scallops, tofu, or chicken breast chunks.
BUTTER:
- We utilize butter to provide nutritious fats and deep flavor. You can use coconut oil, ghee, or grass-fed butter.
PARMESAN CHEESE:
- We have to use Parmesan cheese, which will give an umami flavor and thick consistency. Exchange it with Pecorino Romano, nutritional yeast, or Asiago cheese.
GARLIC:
- You can use garlic to deliver a strong flavor and an aromatic taste to this shrimp skillet. We can switch it out with roasted garlic paste, shallots, or garlic powder.
HEAVY CREAM:
- Utilize heavy cream, as it will create a velvety and rich texture. As a replacement, you can use unsweetened almond milk, Greek yogurt, or coconut cream.
