INGREDIENT NOTES:

SHRIMP:

• Shrimp keeps the dish light and filling by adding lean protein and cooking in a matter of minutes. Select large shrimp to achieve the best texture.

SAUSAGE:

• The rich, smoky flavor of the smoked sausage enhances the taste of shrimp. Use sausage without added sugar to be keto-friendly. Kielbasa or Andouille is excellent for a strong taste.

BROCCOLI:

• Broccoli balances the meal by adding crunch, fiber, and nutrition. Fresh florets hold up nicely and cook quickly in stir-fries. Briefly steam them before combining to achieve the ideal level of softness.

OIL:

• Avocado or olive oil adds the healthy fats which is good for this keto diet. Both contribute to a pleasing browning of the ingredients and improve the flavor. Go for cold-pressed oil for a superior taste.

GARLIC:

• Garlic adds a rich flavor and savory perfume to the dish. Add it early, but don’t overcook to avoid bitterness.

PAPRIKA:

• Paprika gives color and warmth without adding additional carbohydrates. Smoked paprika provides the deep smoky taste in the dish. It also enhances the inherent spice of the sausage.

RED PEPPER FLAKES:

• These flakes provide the spice in the dish. They give a beautiful edge, although they are optional.

SALT & PEPPER:

• Black pepper & salt stabilize the taste & season the food. Use kosher salt for a clean taste. The greatest scent comes from freshly ground pepper.

LEMON JUICE:

• It helps to cut the indulgence & it also brightens the dish. We squeeze the juice before serving for the nice flavor.
