Camarão Cremoso com Abobrinha Gratinada
Creamy Shrimp with Zucchini Gratin (Keto-style)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no pumpkin is used. About 8g net carbs per serving.
What it is
A rich and indulgent creamy shrimp dish, inspired by the traditional 'Camarão na Moranga' but re-imagined for keto. Succulent shrimp are simmered in a luscious heavy cream sauce with onions, garlic, and herbs, then baked with a layer of thinly sliced zucchini and a generous topping of melted cheese until golden and bubbly. The zucchini replaces the higher-carb pumpkin.
Key ingredients
Shrimp, zucchini, heavy cream, cream cheese, onion, garlic, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Ensure no pumpkin is used. Confirm no flour or starch thickeners in the cream sauce. Request no high-carb accompaniments.
Watch out for
Small amounts of natural sugars from zucchini and onion; potential for hidden starches or sugars in restaurant cream sauces or commercial cream cheese products.
