Keto Prosciutto Wrapped Shrimp Skewers
These delicious Keto skewers make a great lunch or dinner option. Perfect for broiling or chucking on the BBQ! Our low carb skewers are prepared with jumbo shrimp, tender prosciutto slices, zesty lemon, a hint of garlic powder, black pepper and olive oil. These make a tasty protein option served with your favorite Keto sides.
Can I Use Raw Shrimp?
We have used cooked jumbo shrimp for our Keto skewer recipe. Cooked shrimp are a great budget-friendly option that can be cheaper and more accessible than raw shrimp. However, these tasty skewers would be just as delicious prepared with raw shrimp. Simply follow the recipe as directed using the raw shrimp and be sure to cook the shrimp through completely so that they turn from grey to pink.
Serving Suggestions
Our Keto shrimp skewers are marinated in a zesty lemon, garlic, and olive oil dressing before being wrapped in prosciutto for cooking. This flavor combination would perfectly complement a Mediterranean inspired low carb side. Ideal with a hearty salad, cauliflower rice, or a fresh low carb salsa. You will find a selection of inspiring accompaniments in our sides section.

Preheat the broiler to high. Thread 8 prosciutto-wrapped shrimp onto one of the prepared skewers. Repeat with the remaining shrimp until each skewer is full.Step 4
