Low Carb Easy Shrimp w Citrus Sauce

This simple shrimp dish spends most of the prep time marinating in your refrigerator and under 20 minutes on your stove! Keto shrimp is lightly seasoned with fatty sesame seeds and marinated in a citrus sauce of lime, orange, and ginger. At your discretion, you can marinate the shrimp longer than suggested for more flavor. Once the shrimp is cooked with a crispy outside and tender inside, the marinade is cooked down into a sticky sauce. The sweet citrus flavor stays strong as it thickens around your shrimp. This is an easy Keto recipe to make multiple batches at once without increasing the prep or cook times. You can enjoy the shrimp as is as a snack, or you can include it in your meal prep or main meal. Serving suggestions are explained below.

What Can I Serve My Shrimp With?

This citrus shrimp recipe is included in the Carb Manager Egg Fried Rice w Shrimp and Citrus Sauce recipe. A simple egg fried cauliflower rice is a complementary and Keto friendly dish that’s filling. If you’re tired of cauliflower rice, make a spring roll! You can wrap the citrus shrimp in soft cabbage wraps for a crunchy snack. For a more refreshing Keto side dish, Carb Manager has many cucumber salads to choose from. Just search “cucumber salad” in the recipe library to find sweet and spicy, creamy, or avocado cucumber salad recipes.

Using A Wok

Woks aren’t necessarily a kitchen staple in most regions. However, a wok can be very useful for Keto cooking. The high walls of a wok help keep ingredients tender without too much moisture or steam evaporating. Much like a cast-iron skillet, a wok is also known for cooking food much more quickly. The material and shape distribute heat more evenly and allow for you to toss ingredients instead of using utensils to stir or flip. However, for this recipe, a wok is not strictly required. You can easily make this dish in a standard non-stick pan.
