Camarones Rancheros (Sin Tortillas)
Ranchero Style Shrimp (with Keto Sides)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no rice, no beans, and no tortillas. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Mexican food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Shrimp cooked in a vibrant, savory ranchero sauce made from tomatoes, onions, jalapeños or serrano peppers, and cilantro. The sauce is typically fresh and robust. It is usually served with rice and tortillas, which must be omitted for keto.
Key ingredients
Shrimp, fresh tomatoes, white onion, jalapeño or serrano peppers, garlic, cilantro, cooking oil (e.g., avocado or olive oil), salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no rice, no beans, and no tortillas. Confirm no added sugar in the ranchero sauce, as some restaurants might sweeten it slightly. Ask for a side of avocado or a green salad instead of standard high-carb sides.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in the tomato-based sauce, large quantities of onions/peppers, high-carb side dishes (rice, beans, tortillas).
