Yes, with a tweak: crucially request a sugar-free marinade. About 7g net carbs per serving.
What it is
Marinated chicken pieces grilled on skewers, typically tender and flavorful. For a keto adaptation, it requires a sugar-free marinade and should be served with keto-friendly vegetables instead of traditional carb sides.
Key ingredients
Chicken thigh/breast, oil, vinegar/lemon juice, onion, spices (paprika, black pepper, salt), keto vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, zucchini, mushrooms for grilling)
How to make it keto

Say this to the waiter (Estonian)
Kana-šašlõki puhul palun kindlasti suhkruvaba marinaadi. Palun keto-sõbralikke grillitud köögivilju, mitte riisi, leiba ega kartulit.
For Kana-šašlõkk, crucially, please use a sugar-free marinade. I'd like keto-friendly grilled vegetables, not rice, bread, or potatoes.
Watch out for
Sugary marinades (very common in shashlik), starchy side dishes (rice, potatoes, bread), some restaurants might use high-carb vegetables like carrots or corn on skewers.
