Creamy Shrimp & Broccoli

Shrimp and broccoli are cooked in a creamy lemon sauce and served with low carb noodles for a quick and easy low carb dish. In under 30 minutes you have a great meal to enjoy with low carb noodles.

Shrimp and broccoli make a colourful and tasty flavour combination.  The bright green of the broccoli compliments the pink of the shrimp.   Lemon gives the creamy sauce a lift without being too overpowering.

Although I have served this dish with Miracle Noodles you could use zucchini noodles or serve it without the noodles. It’s a hearty enough dish to enjoy with just the shrimp and broccoli.

How to make creamy shrimp & broccoli

All you need to make this simple and delicious dish is:

• Shrimp - either fresh or frozen
• Broccoli - choose a head of broccoli that is bright green and fresh.
• Garlic - add more garlic if you prefer
• Lemon - Juice and rind give this dish a taste of Spring
• Cream - heavy cream is preferable
• Parmesan - fresh or canned
• Butter - what better way to cook shrimp than in butter?

Just a few steps to make this keto dinner.
