Served with a side of sautéed keto-friendly vegetables like zucchini or green beans.
Key ingredients
Spiny lobster, butter, olive oil, brandy, dry white wine, shallots, garlic, diced tomatoes (small amount), fish stock, tarragon, green beans or zucchini.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ensure no flour or starch is used to thicken the sauce. Confirm very minimal tomatoes are used, or that the sauce is prepared to be low-carb. Request keto-friendly green vegetables as a side.
Watch out for
Tomatoes, shallots, and wine/brandy reduction contribute carbs. Hidden flour or sugar in the sauce are major risks. Some recipes might use carrots or other root vegetables in the base (confirm omission).
