How to make this low carb bang bang shrimp

Making this bang bang shrimp is quite easy. If you would rather serve this meal with whole-grain pasta go right ahead. Quinoa and veggies will also be a great option.

What you need to do:

If you are making this with zucchini noodles, spiralize them first, sprinkle a bit of salt on them and allow it to drain in a colander on sink or place over a paper towel. Also, if you didn’t know, zucchini contains loads of water and you can get rid of most of it by adding a bit of salt to it and letting it sit.

In the meantime, we will be cooking the shrimp. Add oil in a skillet along with the garlic, then add the shrimps with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for about 3-4 minutes. Add in the zoodles, along with the bang bang shrimp sauce (see below), toss for about 1-2 minutes and serve. Finally, you can garnish with fresh chopped parsley or some chili peppers.

How to make the bang bang shrimp sauce

Sauce ingredients:

• Greek yogurt
• Hot sauce (like sriracha)
• Chili Paste
• Honey
• Lime or lemon juice

In a small bowl, add all the ingredients above and mix well until combined.

IS BANG BANG SHRIMP KETO
