Keto Tuscan Shrimp with Calabrian Peppers
Spicy, Creamy Keto Tuscan Shrimp
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 1 pound shrimp
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 small shallot or onion minced
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1 cup heavy cream see notes
- 2 tablespoons bomba sauce see notes
- 2 handfuls spinach leaves
- 1 tablespoon flat Italian parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper or to test
Instructions
- Get all ingredients in place, as this recipe is made quickly.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in pan. You can use a dutch oven, a frying pan, or enameled pan as I did. Do not use a cast iron pan.
- Cook shrimp for a few minutes just until no longer translucent. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Add remaining butter. Add onion and soften. Add garlic and saute for a minute.
- Have a lid at the ready and add in wine. Sometimes when wine hits fat it will shoot straight up, so a lid is important.
- Add in heavy cream and stir in bomba sauce or sun dried tomatoes and red chili flakes.
- Add in spinach leaves. Add shrimp back in and turn off heat.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Notes
Feel free to add in up to 1/2 cup parmesan cheese if desired.
Substitute bomba sauce with 4 tablespoons sun dried tomatoes chopped and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
TO REDUCE HEAVY CREAM: Use 1/4 heavy cream and xanthan gum gel (recipe in this blog post), and 3/4 cup broth.
