How to make it keto
Explicitly decline the bread typically served for dipping, as it is a high-carb item. No other modifications are generally needed for the dish itself.
Watch out for
Minimal carbs from white wine. Risk of cross-contamination if bread is cooked or served directly with the clams, but usually it's served on the side.
