Savory Keto Shrimp Scampi with Veggie Noodles: A Low-Carb Delight

Ingredients

• 2 generous-sized broccoli heads featuring lengthy stems
• A split of 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• Flavor with salt and ground black pepper to your liking
• 2 cloves of minced garlic
• 1 pound of raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
• A couple of tablespoons of dry white wine
• Juice from a couple of fresh lemons
• A pair of tablespoons of butter
• A tablespoon of freshly minced basil
• A tablespoon of freshly chopped chives
• Half a teaspoon of crushed red pepper

Step 1

Prepare the broccoli by cutting off the florets for later use and removing the tough ends of the stems. Use a vegetable peeler to smooth out any large bumps on the stems, making them more uniform. Transform the stems into noodle-like shapes using a spiralizer.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat up a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Toss in the broccoli noodles along with a sprinkle of salt and pepper, stirring them around for about 3 minutes until they're tender. Once done, set them aside.

Step 3

In another skillet, heat up the remaining olive oil and some minced garlic over medium heat. Let the garlic infuse the oil for about a minute before adding in the shrimp. Cook the shrimp until they turn pink and opaque, which should take around 3 minutes per side. Once they're cooked through, transfer the shrimp to a bowl.

Step 4

To the same skillet, pour in some white wine, a squeeze of lemon juice, a knob of butter, fresh basil, chives, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Whisk everything together over medium heat for about 3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss them in the flavorful sauce.

Step 5

Serve the delightful broccoli noodles in individual bowls and generously top them with the succulent shrimp mixture. Enjoy this vibrant and tasty dish!
