Creme de Camarão Low-Carb Servido em Abóbora Cabotiá Assada
Keto Shrimp Cream Served in Roasted Kabocha Squash
Yes, with a tweak: strictly consume only the creamy shrimp stew. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Brazilian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A keto adaptation of the famous 'Camarão na Moranga'. This version focuses on a rich and creamy shrimp stew, made with succulent shrimp, coconut milk, heavy cream, bell peppers, and herbs. It's served beautifully inside a roasted kabocha squash, intended as a low-carb vessel rather than a main edible component.
Key ingredients
Shrimp, heavy cream, coconut milk, cream cheese, bell peppers (red, yellow), onion, garlic, tomatoes (small amount), cilantro, dendê oil (palm oil), olive oil, roasted kabocha squash (serving vessel).
How to make it keto
Strictly consume only the creamy shrimp stew. If consuming the squash, do so in very small portions due to its carb content. Ensure no flour or starch is used to thicken the cream, and no added sugars.
Watch out for
Overconsumption of the kabocha squash, hidden sugars in the sauce, starch thickeners. Clarify with the restaurant that the cream is low-carb.
