Krevèt nan Sòs
Shrimp in Creole Sauce (Keto, no rice/plantains)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no rice, fried plantains (banann peze), or other starchy accompaniments are served. About 15g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Haitian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Plump shrimp cooked in a savory Creole sauce similar to 'Pwason Kreyòl', featuring tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, garlic, and aromatic herbs. This dish is rich in flavor and typically served as a main course.
Key ingredients
Shrimp, olive or vegetable oil, onions, bell peppers, tomatoes (fresh and/or paste), garlic, Scotch bonnet pepper (optional), fresh thyme, parsley, epis (Haitian seasoning base).
How to make it keto
Ensure no rice, fried plantains (banann peze), or other starchy accompaniments are served. Request extra non-starchy vegetables instead.
Say this to the waiter (Haitian Creole)
Silvouplè, Krevèt nan Sòs la, pa mete diri, banann peze, ni okenn lòt akonpayman ki gen lanmidon. Ban mwen plis legim ki pa gen lanmidon pito.
Please serve the Krevèt nan Sòs without rice, banann peze, or other starchy sides. I'd like extra non-starchy vegetables instead.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in tomato paste or pre-made Creole seasoning; some restaurants might thicken the sauce with a tiny bit of flour or cornstarch; traditionally served with high-carb sides.
