Keto BBQ Shrimp and Asparagus
This Keto BBQ shrimp and asparagus is the perfect, quick summer meal. The shrimp are quickly marinated in BBQ sauce and the asparagus spears are simply seasoned with avocado oil, salt, and pepper. Most of the flavor in this dish comes from the grill as any summer meal should.
Is shrimp paleo?
Since shrimps are animals they are definitely paleo food.
Is BBQ sauce paleo?
Yes, there are certain brands out there that are keto-friendly and paleo at the same time. You can also make your own. For recipe ease, I used a premade sauce.
How can I make this meal even quicker?
You can marinate the shrimp overnight while already on skewers, just so it is prepped and ready to go. The asparagus is simple enough to season right before heading to the grill. Asparagus is usually quicker to cook than shrimp so place that on the grill first and then the shrimp so both are finished cooking at the same time.
