Camarones a la Diabla (Estilo Cubano, Keto)
Devilish Shrimp (Cuban Style, Keto)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure tomato sauce is sugar-free. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Cuban food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Shrimp cooked in a fiery and flavorful Cuban-style 'diabla' sauce, made with tomatoes, onions, garlic, bell peppers, and plenty of hot peppers for a spicy kick. Distinct from 'enchilado' by its emphasis on significant heat.
Key ingredients
Shrimp, tomato sauce (no sugar added), olive oil, onions, garlic, bell peppers, hot peppers (e.g., habanero or scotch bonnet), lime juice, cilantro, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Ensure tomato sauce is sugar-free. Request without traditional high-carb sides like rice. Confirm heat level, as 'a la diabla' can vary in intensity.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in tomato sauce or use of sugary sweet peppers. Excessive amounts of onions/peppers might add up, but typically manageable. Sometimes cornstarch is used as a thickener.
