Gambas à Guilho (Camarão ao Alho sem Pão)
Portuguese Garlic Shrimp (without Bread)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly ask for no bread (sem pão). About 4g net carbs per serving, lower than 8 in 10 Portuguese dishes.
What it is
Plump shrimp quickly sautéed in a sizzling hot bath of olive oil with copious amounts of sliced garlic, sometimes with a touch of chili and white wine. Traditionally served with crusty bread for dipping, which must be omitted for a keto meal.
Key ingredients
Shrimp, olive oil, garlic, fresh parsley, white wine (optional), chili flakes (optional), salt, pepper.
How to make it keto
Explicitly ask for no bread (sem pão). The dish itself is very keto-friendly without the bread.
Watch out for
Large amounts of garlic contribute some carbs. White wine (if used) also has minimal carbs, mostly evaporating. Very low risk if no bread is served.
