Low Carb Southwestern Shrimp Recipe

A simple Low Carb Southwestern Shrimp recipe for those shrimp lovers. Whip together quickly and so versatile in how to eat it.

If you haven’t noticed already, I’m kind of a shrimp lover. I make shrimp often.

• Cauli-Rice & Shrimp
• Shrimp Zoodles
• Shrimp Jambalaya

You get my point, we are kind of obsessed.

They are such a versatile protein flavor-wise and can be used in many varied dishes.

Making our southwestern shrimp recipe ket friendly.

• If you eat Keto, it’s really easy to add more fats to this lean protein as well.

For this recipe, I went the southwestern route and added some quick and easy seasonings along with a few, freshly chopped ingredients.

Added fresh garlic and red bell peppers give this a bit of crunch while the chili powder and cumin bring that southwestern flavor full circle.

This dish comes together quickly and easily and is basically like making a simple stir-fry.

It’s great on a busy night when you just need something fast.

Dressing our simple recipe up to a full meal.

You can also put this in tacos with a low carb tortilla. It would be delicious topped with some guacamole and even some olives! Yum!
