Refogado de Camarão com Arroz de Couve-Flor e Brócolis
Sautéed Shrimp with Cauliflower Rice and Broccoli
Yes, with a tweak: ensure 'rice' is entirely cauliflower-based, not mixed with or replaced by traditional rice. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Brazilian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Succulent shrimp sautéed with garlic, onions, and bell peppers in a flavorful sauce. Served over a generous bed of fluffy 'cauliflower rice' and accompanied by steamed or sautéed broccoli. A lighter, keto-friendly adaptation of a popular Brazilian shrimp and rice dish.
Key ingredients
Shrimp, olive oil, garlic, onions, assorted bell peppers, diced tomatoes (small amount), cauliflower (riced), broccoli florets, fresh cilantro, lime juice, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Ensure 'rice' is entirely cauliflower-based, not mixed with or replaced by traditional rice. Request no added sugar in the sautéed shrimp sauce. Avoid any flour or starch thickeners.
