Tostones de Berenjena con Camarones al Ajillo
Eggplant Tostones with Garlic Shrimp

What it is
Thick slices of eggplant, lightly fried or baked until tender-crisp, topped with succulent shrimp sautéed in garlic and olive oil. A keto-friendly interpretation of the classic plantain 'tostones', focusing on the protein and healthy fats.
Key ingredients
Eggplant, large shrimp, garlic, olive oil, parsley, lime juice, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Ensure eggplant slices are not breaded with flour or cornmeal. Confirm they are fried in keto-friendly oil (e.g., olive oil, avocado oil) or baked. Request ample garlic shrimp topping and extra olive oil.
Watch out for
Flour/cornmeal breading on eggplant slices, high-carb cooking oils (e.g., vegetable oil blends), added sugar in seasoning for shrimp.
