An easy shrimp zucchini salad is a perfect keto summer dish. Full of flavour, colour and texture it's delicious warm or cold.

Ready in under 30 minutes you could make this salad on the BBQ as you entertain and enjoy good company. Although it is a simple low carb salad, you could add other ingredients to this, like Feta cheese or fresh basil.

How to make this keto salad

This is an old recipe that I used to make many years ago when we lived in Dubai. The shrimp there were huge and the size of your fist. We called them prawns, other call them shrimp but for this recipe, let's call them shrimp. Dubai spoilt the Chief Taster with it's massive shrimp expectations and each time we eat out in the Caribbean and shrimp is on the menu, he quizzes the staff on the size of the shrimp. Let it go honey.

Keto shrimp and recipes are often served with the zucchini in noodle form. The recipe is a change to that with slices of zucchini cooked on a griddle pan or the BBQ. Shrimp is also cooked on the same pan, then served over a leafy salad with a lemon and garlic dressing. Simple, quick and delicious.

You can serve this salad as a hearty main or serve smaller portions as a side salad with a steak dinner. I've served this as a side dish for some of my famous BBQ's too.
