Keto Shrimp Scampi with Spring Squash
This simple skillet is about as keto as it gets: lean protein, low carb vegetables, and a buttery sauce to fatten things up. Shrimp Scampi is made with flavors of onion and peppers. At your discretion, you can add in a splash of white wine or the more keto-friendly white wine vinegar.

You don't use garlic in this shrimp scampi? I thought scampi was a garlic dish, I'm sure it tase wonderful without but is the recipe correct?

Easy to make and so delicious. I didn't have raw shrimp, only cooked, and it still worked out. I put everything in at the same time so the shrimp was warmed up while the squash cooked.
