If you’re a shrimp scampi lover you might be missing all that pasta that generally goes with scampi. This low carb shrimp scampi recipe is the best replacement and the solution for you!

I love shrimp scampi pasta. It’s always been a favorite dish for me. But now that I don’t eat pasta, I thought I’d have to give it up. Thank goodness we don’t have too!

Our low carb take on the shrimp scampi

Now the easiest swap would be to use zucchini noodles to make this a low carb scampi. Would make more sense, right? Well, the truth is, shrimp scampi made with zucchini noodles just isn’t the same for me. Something about it just tastes off. I don’t know why, though it’s a perfectly viable option for low carb folks. It’s just a personal thing.

Maybe our standards for shrimp scampi are high as we actually love this Low Carb Shrimp Zoodles recipe and this Low Carb Red Pepper Alfredo Pasta with zucchini noodles.. yeah our standard must be high for scampi…

So I thought I’d try making it with riced cauliflower and the results were far better. I could eat this Low Carb Shrimp Scampi any night of the week!

What type of ingredients you can use in our recipe

I purchased frozen riced cauliflower as well as frozen, pre-cooked shrimp from Trader Joe’s and simply thawed them overnight in the fridge. I then strained off the residual liquid and tossed it in the pan with the cauliflower.

This is a super simple Low Carb Shrimp Scampi dish to put together and doesn’t take long at all if you’re shrimp and cauliflower are ready to go.

This took me all of 15 minutes to put together and the entire family enjoyed a low carb meal for dinner.

HOW MANY NET CARBS PER SERVING
