Keto Cauliflower with Shrimp and Pancetta
This tasty Keto recipe is inspired by Spanish tapas and uses diced cauliflower in place of potatoes. Our low carb recipe is prepared with cauliflower florets, diced pancetta, and jumbo shrimp. The protein and vegetables are pan-fried with smoky paprika, garlic and rosemary, then simmered in a little tomato sauce until tender. Perfect served tapas-style with some toasted Keto bread.
Can I Use a Different Meat?
We have used diced pancetta for our Keto cauliflower recipe. If you wanted to use an alternative pork option, you could use diced Spanish chorizo or some crumbled sausage meat. Alternatively, you could use diced chicken thigh meat pieces. Please be sure to adjust your cooking times for different ingredients as needed and adjust your macros to reflect any changes as necessary.
Serving Suggestions
This smokey Keto Cauliflower makes a great tapas-style dish, low carb lunch or main served with your favorite Keto sides. We recommend serving with some toasted low carb bread for mopping up the cooking juices. Alternatively, the dish could be served with a hearty side salad and some diced avocado for additional fats.
