How to Make Keto Bang Bang Shrimp

To Make the Keto Shrimp

Place the smoked paprika, cumin, garlic salt, pepper, lime zest and olive oil to a ziplock bag and mix it up.

Add in the shrimp, seal up the bag and toss them well to make sure they're completely coated.

Place the bag in the refrigerator while you make the Bang Bang sauce and slaw.

To Make the Lime Cilantro Slaw

Add all the slaw ingredients, except for the cabbage, to a large bowl.

Whisk until everything is well combined.

Next, add your cabbage/ veggie slaw mix and toss to coat.  Allow the slaw to sit at room temperature and make the Bang Bang sauce.

Once your sauce is made, it is time to cook the shrimp.

To Cook the Shrimp

This is an excellent low carb shrimp recipe that is very versatile, so it's not only just for wraps, it's excellent for a stand alone entrée. Heat a skillet to medium heat and add in the butter.  

Remove the shrimp from the marinade and gently put them over into the butter. You'll cook the shrimp for a just few minutes, making sure you flip them often.

They will cook quickly so be careful not to overcook them. They are done when they begin to firm up.

To Assemble the Shrimp Wraps

Add some of the Keto coleslaw to each piece of lettuce.  Next, place a few of your low carb shrimp and some avocado cubes over the slaw. Top with a healthy drizzle of the Bang Bang Sauce.

Garnish your lettuce wraps with fresh cilantro and a wedge of lime.

Do youself a favor and double the Bang Bang sauce recipe! It will keep for up to a week in the refrigerator.

It is delicious served over Keto Salmon Cakes, your favorite low carb fried fish recipe or even drizzled over sliced avocado for a healthy snack. You can even eat this sweet and spicy sauce over breakfast omelets for a little extra kick.

This is the lettuce that I used, but you can certainly use your favorite lettuce. If you'd rather serve them in a tortilla, check out this Low Carb Tortilla recipe!

If you want to change things up, you can make this same recipe with salmon, or the fish of your choice.  Just be sure to adjust the cooking time and macros accordingly.

Tips for Buying Shrimp for Low Carb Spicy Shrimp Wraps

• Look for fresh, domestic, wild-caught shrimp when available.
• If you have to buy frozen, look at the ingredients. It should just say, "shrimp and water."
• Medium size shrimp are best for this recipe. Shrimp will shrink some when cooked, so take that into consideration with choosing the ones you want.
• To make healthy shrimp recipes in a jiffy, select shrimp that have already been split down the spine. This makes peeling so much easier.
• Don't be afraid to ask to touch and smell the shrimp at your grocery store or fish market. You want to avoid shrimp with a strong "shrimpy," or ammonia-like smell or those with a slimy or soft texture.

Are There Carbs in Shrimp?

Shrimp are very low in carbs. In fact, there's approximately 1 gram of carbohydrates in 6 ounces of cooked shrimp!

Are Shrimp Keto Friendly?

Absolutely! Not only are shrimp very low carb and low calorie, they're packed with nutrition. The amount of protein in shrimp is very impressive, making up over 70% of their calories.
