What it is
A delightful casserole featuring succulent shrimp baked in an earthenware pot (güveç) with butter, garlic, bell peppers, and a touch of tomato, often topped with melted Kasar cheese. The traditional recipe sometimes includes potato slices, which must be omitted for a keto version.
Key ingredients
Shrimp, butter, garlic, bell peppers, tomatoes (minimal), Kasar cheese, salt, black pepper, chili flakes.
How to make it keto
Explicitly request no potatoes. Ensure minimal use of tomato paste or diced tomatoes for the sauce to keep carbohydrate content low. Confirm no added sugar.
Watch out for
Potatoes are a common inclusion. Too much tomato paste or puree, which can contain hidden sugars, will increase carb count. Served with bread (must omit).
