Notes

  • Are you not a fan of shrimp? Try some chunks of salmon or scallops instead with this recipe.
  • Try something new next time when you brown up some chunks of chicken breast and continue with the recipe as listed for a great Keto Chicken Alfredo recipe!
  • Make this into a quick freezer meal when you make the sauce ahead of time and save in a small freezer bag. Then when it is time for dinner, just let the bag sit in a large pot of water that is warm but not too hot to thaw. Cook up your meat in the skillet then pour the sauce over it when the meat is cooked.
  • Picky eaters? Make up the sauce without the meat and pour it over some vegetables to get your kids to eat them like these Longhorn Steakhouse Crispy Brussels Sprouts!
