Looking for a way to use up all of your summer zucchini? This one pot creamy keto shrimp scampi can be on the table ready to eat in just 30 minutes. It’s only 5 net carbs per serving and kid friendly too!
Maybe it’s just me, but I LOVE daylight savings time!
The longer days and extra sunshine more than make-up for the one hour of missed sleep.
It’s not warm here in Kentucky yet but Spring is imminent and I just love that.
Warm(er) weather always beckons me to make bright food.
I also like seafood more in the warmer seasons. It’s just so light, refreshing, and delicious!
Who cleans up the kitchen after dinner in your house? My husband used to before baby number 3 came along, but now he helps wrangle the hoodlums while I clean up.
Teamwork makes the dream work, right?
As much as I love recipes that you labor in love, sometimes I need meals that don’t force me to wash a bunch of dishes afterwards, especially during busy week nights.

a few tips for your keto shrimp scampi
Before you start cooking your creamy keto shrimp scampi, place your noodles between 2 paper towels and pat them to absorb the water. Squeeze out any excess water.
This keto shrimp scampi recipe cooks in 3 parts: shrimp first, noodles second, sauce last.
Everything cooks really quickly (hallelujah) so make sure you have everything prepped before you start cooking. There’s a technical culinary term for this…mis en place.
If your sauce is too thick after cooking, thin it out with 1 tbsp (up to 3) of chicken stock or water.
Make sure you thaw and clean your shrimp before cooking. Even bags labeled “peeled & deveined” usually still have some veins (i.e. shrimp poo) in them.
To thaw your shrimp, run them under cold water in a colander. And if at all possible, do not use farm raised shrimp!
Pay a little extra for wild caught! It’ll taste a million times better and it’s a trillion times better for your health and the environment.
Use up your summer squash in this low carb 30 minute creamy shrimp scampi.

Made this for dinner tonight and my family loved it! Even my picky 6 year old gobbled it up. I didn’t have any zucchini so I used Konjac noodles and followed the directions and it turned out so good!!!!!!! Served it with corn on the cob because summer.
