Drunken Crispy Shrimp
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no flour or starch coating is used on the shrimp. About 4g net carbs per serving, lower than 7 in 10 Filipino dishes.
What it is
Whole shrimp (shell-on or peeled), deep-fried until perfectly crispy, infused with garlic and traditionally a splash of alcohol like beer or brandy (though this largely evaporates when cooked).
Key ingredients
Whole shrimp, garlic, cooking oil (for deep-frying), salt, black pepper. Optional: trace amounts of beer or brandy for flavor (most alcohol and carbs evaporate).
How to make it keto
Ensure no flour or starch coating is used on the shrimp. Request no beer/brandy or minimal amounts, as alcohol carbs are generally negligible if cooked off.
Watch out for
Possible flour or starch coating on the shrimp, hidden sugar in any optional glaze or seasoning, residual carbs from beer if not fully evaporated.
