Easy Keto Skillet Shrimp
You can make lunch, dinner, or your meal prepping a breeze with this easy Keto skillet recipe. Large or jumbo shrimp are marinated in a blend of oil, vinegar, and spices. Then, you just cook the shrimp up in a pan with some butter for serving! The shrimp have an Asian-inspired flavor palate with garlic, ginger, and sesame. Keep this in mind when including the shrimp in other dishes. You can eat the shrimp hot, as-is with a side dish, or with one of our recommendations below.
How to Make It
Step 1
Peel and de-vein whole shrimp and pat them dry before adding them to a mixing bowl. Add all of the ingredients except for the butter to the bowl. Fold the ingredients together with a spoon until the shrimp is coated in all the oil and spices. Cover the bowl and marinate the shrimp for at least 1 hour, but you may marinate longer.
Step 2
After marinating the shrimp, heat a non-stick skillet on your stove over medium-high heat. Once hot, add all the shrimp and any excess marinade to the skillet. Cook the shrimp for just 2 minutes on one side or until they turn pink. Turn the shrimp over and reduce the heat to medium-low.
Step 3
Cut the butter into pieces and add it to the skillet. Let the butter melt and stir the shrimp to coat it in all the melted butter. Let the shrimp cook until just done on the other side. Serve the shrimp hot with the buttery sauce that has collected in the skillet.
