Grilled Squid with Keto Sides
Yes, with a tweak: request no fries, rice, or bread. About 4g net carbs per serving, lower than 8 in 10 Portuguese dishes.
What it is
Fresh, tender squid, often served whole or in rings, simply grilled with a drizzle of olive oil, minced garlic, and fresh herbs like parsley. A light, flavorful, and naturally low-carb seafood option, served with a side of steamed greens or a crisp salad, omitting any starchy accompaniments.
Key ingredients
Squid (lulas), olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, parsley, salt, black pepper. Side of mixed greens or steamed broccoli.
How to make it keto
Request no fries, rice, or bread. Ask for extra steamed or grilled non-starchy vegetables or a large green salad with olive oil and vinegar dressing. Confirm no sugary marinades or glazes.
Watch out for
Marinades or glazes, though less common with simply grilled squid, can contain hidden sugars. Ensure no starchy fillers if squid rings are breaded (which they usually aren't for 'grelhadas').
