Shrimp Scampi with Broccoli Noodles for a Keto Diet

Ingredients

• 2 large heads broccoli with long stems
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons dry white wine
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh basil
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
• ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper

Step 1

Trim the broccoli stems—cut off the florets for another use and remove any tough ends. Use a vegetable peeler to shave off any large bumps so the stems are nice and even, then run them through the smallest spiralizer blade to make noodles.

Step 2

Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the broccoli noodles with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once they're tender, take them off the heat and set them aside.

Step 3

In another pan, warm the remaining olive oil along with the garlic over medium heat until fragrant, about a minute. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn opaque, roughly 3 minutes on each side. When done, transfer the shrimp to a bowl.

Step 4

Pour in the wine, lemon juice, butter, basil, chives, and a pinch of red pepper flakes into the skillet. Whisk everything together over medium heat for a few minutes until the sauce comes together. Then, add the shrimp back in and give it all a good toss to coat evenly.

Step 5

To serve, divide the broccoli noodles between bowls and spoon the shrimp and sauce on top. Enjoy!
