Shrimp Scampi

 Delicious and full of fat, can serve witb zoodles for a filling, indulgent meal! Serves 4.

1 cup olive or grapeseed oil (for frying)
2 lbs. peeled and deveined large shrimp
1/2 cup almond flour
1 teaspoon baking powder- mixed into flour
1 tsp. Old Bay seasoning
1 1/2 cups dry white wine (I use Pinot Grigio)
1 tbsp. Worchestire sauce
5 cloves garlic, minced
2 1/2 tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter- diced
2 tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped
salt and pepper to taste

In a deep skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, place shrimp in a large bowl and coat with mix of almond flour/baking powder and Old Bay seasoning. In batches, shake off excess flour from shrimp and saute in oil until just cooked, about 2 minutes. Drain shrimp on paper towel lined plate.

Discard oil and add wine, Worchestire sauce, garlic, lemon juice, and chicken broth to skillet. Cook over high heat until sauce is reduced by half, about 8 minutes. Stir in butter and season with salt ans pepper to taste. Lower heat to medium, add shrimp and cook just one more minute, just until shrimp are re-heated. Sprinkle with parsley just before serving. Serve over zoodles for a keto meal or over noodles or rice for a non keto entree.
Enjoy!

Vanilla-Almond Creme Brulee

Easier Than You Think Creme Brulee Recipes I have worked on several recipes and Del was nice enough to taste with me. ;-) She finally told me the other night that "I had perfected this", so now I feel like I can share! Extreme creamy custard on the bottom, and a hard, crunchy top layer of "burnt" sugar. "Creme Brulee" literally translates to "burnt creme".  The only "must" for this recipe is the custard cups- make sure you use heat proof cups designed for baking souffles or brulees and this recipe will be a snap!!

Teriyaki steak salad (my keto replacement for my old lettuce wraps)

Before starting keto, one of our favorite meals were Asian lettuce wraps. We would marinate steak in sugary teriyaki sauce and flash fry in a wok. Once the meat cooled, we would spoon rice into a lettuce cup, sp rinkle with  soy sauce and chili oil and pile with steak. Finally, we would add a few slices of cucumber to cool the heat from the chili oil. It was so satisfyingly delicious! I have been craving those lettuce wraps recently, so I decided to try my hand at recreating the marinade, making it Keto of course!  I decided to make it into a salad in order to add more vegetables to bulk it up since we aren't using rice. The final meal tasted better than our old lettuce wraps; I will definitely be using this teriyaki sauce more often! Servings: 4 entree size salads  Sauce ingredients: 1/2 cup tamari or coconut aminos 1/4 cup water 2 tablespoons rice vinegar 4 tablespoons Swerve Confectioners sugar (or sugar substitute of choice) 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1...
