Is Grits Keto friendly?

Keto shrimp and sand ingredients

This section explains how to choose the best ingredients for shrimp and broccoli grits, the role of each ingredient in the recipe, and alternative options. For measurement, please refer to the recipe card below.

For low-carb cheese grits:

• Danish Cream European Butter – The only butter I recommend for this dish! Make sure you get the salted one, made only with high-quality cream and sea salt. You need 4 tablespoons of butter, which is half a stick.
• cauliflower – Look for tightly packed florets without browning. You can also use pre-cooked cauliflower, but the texture is more realistic when using a whole head of cauliflower.
• Heavy cream – Make these ketone-friendly coarse grains so creamy.any of others Keto milk substitute Will greatly change the taste and texture, but coconut cream will be the closest.
• Cheddar cheese – Chop it yourself, or pre-chop it to save time.Cheddar cheese is a classic choice, but you can use any Keto Friendly Cheese You like it.
• sea ​​salt

For the shrimp and toppings:

• bacon – In order to stay as ketone-friendly as possible, try to find sugar-free varieties.
• Shrimp -If possible, I will find wild-caught shrimp, but anything is fine. You can also use larger or smaller shrimp, but the cooking time will change.
• Indian Seasoning – You can buy it in the store, but Homemade Cajun Seasoning it’s the best! It includes chili powder, garlic powder, salt, oregano, thyme, onion powder, chili powder and red pepper flakes. It also provides a lot of spices, so you don’t need a separate black pepper, but you can add some if you want.
• garlic – Fresh garlic tastes great in this low-carb shrimp and grits dish, but you can also use canned minced garlic.
• Green onions -Add a touch of color and flavor! Fresh parsley can also be the perfect decoration.

How to make low-carb grits with shrimp

This section shows how to make cauliflower grits and shrimps with step-by-step photos and detailed information about the technique. For complete instructions, see the recipe card below.

• Make grits. Use the S blade to chop the cauliflower florets in a food processor; you want it to be a bit thinner than regular cauliflower rice, but don’t let it become mushy.
• Cook grits. In a Dutch oven, bring the cream, butter, and broccoli to a boil over medium-high heat, then simmer the mixture until thick and creamy. Stir in cheese and salt, then set aside.

• Boil the bacon. In a large frying pan, fry the bacon until crispy. Set aside and drain some bacon fat, leaving a few tablespoons in the pan.

hint: Cooking bacon in a pan will leave you with bacon oil to fry the shrimp. But if you already have some bacon on hand (the team Bacon in the oven it’s here! ), you can skip this step, sauté the shrimp in oil, and finally add the chopped bacon to the plate.

• Boil shrimp. Season the shrimp with cajun seasoning. Add garlic and cajun shrimp to the same frying pan and cook until opaque.

• plate. Chop the bacon and stir into coarse grains. Grate the cauliflower and transfer it to a bowl, then top with shrimp and sprinkle with chopped onions.
