• One-fourth cup of parsley
• 10 oz keto linguine
• 1 tbsp of olive oil
• Pepper flakes(red), 1/4 tsp.

INGREDIENT NOTES:

SHRIMP:

• We use big shrimps that work perfectly because they remain soft and cook uniformly. Before cooking, simply defrost and pat dry any frozen shrimp. Wild-caught shrimp provides a crisper bite.

PARMESAN:

• This ingredient provides a rich and strong flavor to the garlic shrimp.  If you like a deep taste, use Romano cheese.

OLIVE OIL AND BUTTER:

• Both oils are the basis of the scampi sauce. To make a non-dairy replacement, you can use ghee or a high-quality dairy-free butter.

KETO LINGUINE:

• Konjac linguine is a low-carb option and keeps very well in sauces. Lupin-flour pasta has more structure and gives a taste like original pasta. For a more nutritious choice, try spiralized zucchini or cooked spaghetti squash.

CHICKEN BROTH:

• Mild broth helps to make the sauce without reducing its flavor. Vegetable broth also works easily.
