Cajun Shrimp and Sausage Skillet

It’s no secret that I love simple, nutritious dinners. We had this Egg Roll in a Bowl earlier this week and these Sheet Pan Fajitas last week- I love these meals because they require very little prep, cooking time or clean up, all while helping me stick to my keto diet. This one pan meal is no exception! A generous serving is only 5.3 net carbs, making this a great keto dinner option!

Smoked sausage and buttery shrimp are combined with sweet bell peppers, tender zucchini and crunchy brussels sprouts in this perfect low carb meal! These ingredients are complimented by Cajun spices to make this meal pack a ton of flavor! You can easily cater this recipe to your personal preferences. Add more or less of the Cajun seasoning depending on how spicy you prefer your food, so you can be sure to please even your picky eaters!

One of my favorite things about this meal is how quickly it comes together. In only 20 minutes, this one pan meal is on the table. It doesn’t get much better than that! This dinner is perfect for busy weeknights. This Cajun shrimp recipe is also great for meal prepping- make a large batch over the weekend and then easily warm up for a healthy lunch!

Ingredients for Cajun Shrimp and Sausage

As always, this is a quick overview of the ingredients needed for this recipe. For the complete recipe just scroll to the bottom of the page.

  • Sausage: Use your favorite variety, smoked sausage, andouille sausage or lower fat varieties such as chicken or turkey will also work in this recipe.
  • Shrimp: thawed, peeled and deveined shrimp.
  • Vegetables: Zucchini, Brussels sprouts, red bell pepper, red onion, minced garlic
  • Other ingredients: extra virgin olive oil, Cajun seasoning.

You can increase or decrease the Cajun seasoning based on your preferred level of spice. You can replace it with your favorite all purpose seasoning, but I strongly recommend using at least a little of the Cajun seasoning. It adds a ton of flavor!

How to make this keto sausage recipe

This keto recipe is incredibly simple! Start by combining all of your ingredients in a large bowl, then coat them with olive oil and seasonings. Stir or toss to make sure every little piece is coated for a super flavorful meal.

Grab your skillet or griddle and warm it up on medium heat. Once it’s good and hot, spray with oil or other nonstick spray, then add your ingredients to the skillet. If possible, put it all in a single layer to get a perfect sear on each piece. If you can’t fit it in one layer, that’s okay, everything will still taste delicious!

Cook your veggies, sausage, and shrimp for 3 minutes, then stir and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. Once the shrimp are pink and the vegetables are fork tender, the meal is ready to serve!

How long does this meal take?

Your whole family will love this easy weeknight dinner. From start to finish, this meal will be on your table in less than 20 minutes! This keto meal also provides a large portion of your day’s protein and fiber. This recipe is also great for keto meal prep- prepare on your weekend and enjoy all week long!

How many carbs are in this Cajun Shrimp?

A large serving of this keto skillet meal is only 5.3 net carbs! This is an excellent meal for low carb meal prep, it makes a ton and the carbs are kept at a minimum.

Tips for the best Cajun Sausage

  • Arrange everything in a single layer, if possible. You can also cook in batches if you don’t have a large enough skillet. This is an excellent recipe for a griddle if you have one handy.
  • You can easily double or triple this recipe if you’re cooking for a crowd!
  • For extra flavor, you can marinate your shrimp using this recipe
  • If you prefer your food to be extra spicy, step up the Cajun seasoning! If you prefer your food a little more mild, even a small portion of the seasoning will add an excellent flavor.

What should I serve with this one pan sausage and veggies?

I served this meal with some Keto Cheddar Garlic Biscuits, but these Keto Three Cheese Biscuits or Cheesy Zucchini Breadsticks would also be delicious! A Keto Salad Bowl or this Simple Arugula Salad with Parmesan are the perfect accompaniment to any dinner table. For dessert, try this easy Air Fryer Brownie, Lemon Cookies or Keto Brownies with Frosting!

How to Store and Reheat this Shrimp and Sausage recipe

To store, simply place in the fridge in a glass or plastic container with an airtight lid. This meal will keep fresh for up to five days. To reheat, just put in the microwave and warm in 30 second increments until your desired temperature is met. You could also warm on the stove top or in the Air Fryer.

This Keto Shrimp Alfredo is an easy low-carb dinner perfect for a weeknight! This one-pan keto meal has just 2 net carbs per serving and is ready in about 10 minutes.

We love a good, quick keto dinner around here! Because we’re gluten-free, fast food isn’t really an option for us… So it’s important to have some super quick meals in our back pocket to keep away the “hangry” attitudes. A lot of times we’ll end the day with these Chicken Bacon Lettuce Wraps, but this time I wanted something more comforting, something to warm us up.

This Keto Shrimp Alfredo uses cooked, thawed shrimp, so really all you’re having to cook up is a delicious 5-ingredient alfredo sauce. It’s so smooth, creamy, and packed with parmesan cheese… I’d eat it with absolutely anything! You can even make a double or triple batch of this sauce and freeze for an even quicker dinner later!

I served this with my easy, quick Air Fryer Roasted Broccoli. It cooks in just 8 minutes, meaning it is incredibly easy to have a well-rounded, nutritious keto dinner with barely any work! You could substitute any other cooked protein in place of the shrimp for a convenient, go-to meal on the busiest weeknight.

This Keto Shrimp Alfredo is ready in about 10 minutes and perfect with any low-carb side like Roasted Broccoli!

Keto Shrimp Alfredo Ingredients

Here’s a quick overview of what you’ll need for this easy keto dinner. For exact measurements, keep scrolling to the printable recipe card.

  • Shrimp : Cooked, thawed
  • Butter : I used salted, but you can use unsalted if you’re sensitive to salt
  • Garlic : Minced
  • Heavy cream
  • Grated parmesan
  • Italian seasoning

How to cook shrimp:

This recipe uses cooked, thawed shrimp. You can likely find cooked frozen shrimp at the store, but there are several ways you can quickly cook shrimp if you are starting with raw shrimp. You can quickly sauté the shrimp in a pan with the method in this 20-Minute Cajun Shrimp recipe or you can grill it like in this Easy BBQ Shrimp recipe. 

Start your Keto Shrimp Alfredo by sautéing your fresh garlic in a high-quality salted butter. Heavy cream is the base for your Keto Shrimp Alfredo, resulting in a silky, creamy sauce that is easy to freeze! Stir in the seasoning for an amazing, aromatic, flavorful Keto Shrimp Alfredo! Add in your parmesan cheese to thicken and add tons of flavor to your Keto Shrimp Alfredo!

How to make Keto Shrimp Alfredo

This recipe is SO easy and perfect for a weeknight. Start by heating a large, deep skillet over medium heat, then add butter and melt. Add minced garlic and sauté about 30 seconds, getting it nice and fragrant but not burning.

Reduce heat to medium low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir until the mixture begins to bubble slightly, then add parmesan and Italian seasoning while you continue stirring. Add salt and pepper to taste and stir until the sauce becomes thick and creamy. Add cooked shrimp and cook 3-4 more minutes. Once the shrimp is heated throughout, serve immediately.

Can I use a different protein?

Yes, you could use any cooked protein in place of the shrimp! Add a pound of cooked chicken, steak, or whatever meat/protein you prefer for a quick one-pan alfredo dish. This 5-ingredient alfredo sauce recipe would be delicious with nearly anything!

Succulent cooked shrimp is the perfect protein to add for our Keto Shrimp Alfredo--Just 2 net carbs per serving!

How many carbs are in shrimp alfredo?

This recipe only has 2 net carbs for 1/4 of the sauce and a 1/4-pound of shrimp! It’s incredibly filling but low enough in carbs that you could go back for seconds if you’re super hungry!

This alfredo sauce on its own has 264 calories, 25.1 grams of fat, and 1.8 net carbs per serving.

What to serve with shrimp alfredo

This saucy one-pan dish goes with so many things! I served mine with crispy Roasted Broccoli for a filling, nutritious meal at about 5 net carbs total. The sauce was AMAZING with the broccoli! The whole meal took just 10 minutes, letting us enjoy a delicious low-carb dinner that didn’t taste at all like diet food.

You could also serve with Cacio e pepe Zoodles for a low-carb pasta feel under 5 net carbs. For a super impressive meal for guests around 8 net carbs total, serve your Shrimp Alfredo with Bacon-Wrapped Green Beans and Keto Bacon Cheddar Chive Biscuits!

This Keto Shrimp Alfredo is an easy low-carb dinner perfect for a weeknight! This one-pan keto meal has just 2 net carbs per serving and is ready in about 10 minutes.

Can I freeze keto alfredo sauce?

Yes, you can freeze this keto alfredo sauce! Allow it to cool completely, then transfer to a freezer bag or a jar (make sure to leave at least an inch of room so it’s able to expand). This sauce is best thawed and eaten within 3 months–It’s safe to eat after that, but the texture and taste isn’t as great if it’s in the freezer much longer.

If you shrimp was previously frozen, it’s probably best to not freeze it again. To meal prep this, I’d recommend cooking fresh shrimp and freezing it separately from the sauce. This is even more convenient because it allows you to use the shrimp for quesadillas, salads, tacos, and other dishes. Then you can use the alfredo sauce for a keto pizza sauce or with meal prepped chicken or pork chops!

Keto Seafood Recipes

Seafood night is usually one of my favorites! Who doesn’t love an amazing grilled salmon fillet, or shrimp and grits? Going low-carb made me look harder to find keto-friendly ways to keep incorporating  my seafood favorites into my diet. Fortunately, low carb seafood options are endless, they include:

  • Crab and Lobster
  • Shrimp, Prawns, Mussels and Scallops
  • Fish: such as Salmon, Cod, Halibut, Tuna, Snapper or Mahi Mahi. 

Side Dishes for Seafood

Whether you’re looking for light appetizers for game day or hearty dinners to keep the family satisfied, this list will have something for you! If you’re looking for keto sides, I highly recommend these Cheddar Garlic Keto Biscuits (they’re a perfect Red Lobster copycat!) to serve alongside. You can check out more keto bread options here, too!

Roasted veggies (like cauliflower, radishes, or broccoli) always pair well with seafood and are quick enough for a weeknight.  If you miss crispy fries with your fish, try this Keto Fry recipe using rutabaga instead! These Green Bean Fries or Zucchini Fries could also work in a pinch.

So set aside the beef, chicken, and pork tonight. Find a great seafood recipe and pretend you’re coastal for the night!

You may think that keeping a keto diet means you have to give up all your favorite breaded foods (like chicken tenders, mozzarella sticks, or breaded shrimp). Fortunately, I’m here to tell you that you don’t have to miss a thing! With a few changes, you can still enjoy these classics while staying low-carb. For more great ideas for great breadcrumb food, check out Everything You Need to Know about Pork Rind Panko!

This Keto Coconut Shrimp is such an easy, go-to meal! It’s quick enough for a weeknight and is SO flexible… It can be prepared in the Air Fryer, on the stove, or in the oven! I love when I don’t have to worry about trying to cook my main course and my sides in the same appliance!

All ingredients used are simple and easy to find, making this a perfect last-minute meal! Plus, this recipe is naturally grain-free and gluten-free. This low-carb seafood dinner is going to become a favorite!

Ingredients for Keto Coconut Shrimp

As always, this is a quick overview of the ingredients you will need for this recipe. To get the complete recipe and instructions just keep scrolling. 

  • Large Shrimp: I use the 24/pound peeled and deveined shrimp, thawed
  • Coconut Flour: Almond flour can be substituted equally in this recipe.
  • Eggs: used to help the breading stick to the shrimp.
  • Chili Garlic Sauce: adds amazing flavor, and is a great option for dipping sauce.  
  • Pork Rind Panko: you can find that recipe here, or if not keto you can use regular panko breadcrumbs.
  • Unsweetened coconut flakes: for keto sweetened coconut flakes have too many carbs, we will have to  sweeten the coconut with a keto-friendly sweetener. 
  • Confectioners Monkfruit: this is a keto-friendly sweetener; Swerve will also work. 
  • Spices: garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper and cayenne if desired.

This delicious Keto Coconut Shrimp will quickly join your low-carb dinner rotation! This low-carb seafood dinner can be cooked in 30 minutes or less on the stove, in the oven, or in an Air Fryer!

How do you make Keto Shrimp?

This recipe takes a tiny bit more prep than most of my recipes, but stick with me–The result is amazing! You will need three separate bowls to bread the shrimp:

  • Bowl 1: Combine the coconut flour, salt and pepper. 
  • Bowl 2: Combine the eggs and chili garlic sauce.
  • Bowl 3: Combine the pork rind panko, coconut flakes, sweetener and spices. 

Roll the shrimp in each bowl, using your fingers, a fork or tongs to make this easy. Set the breaded shrimp on a baking sheet or cutting board as you work. 

When all the shrimp have been breaded, heat the oil to medium heat and fry 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set on a paper towel lined plate. Serve immediately with the dipping sauce if desired. 

Can I Bake Coconut Shrimp?

Yes, if you wish to bake coconut shrimp, preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Bread the shrimp as directed, then place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Spray the tops of the shrimp with cooking spray. Bake the shrimp for 8 minutes, flip and bake the shrimp an additional 6-8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. 

How do you make Air Fryer Coconut Shrimp?

Preheat the Air Fryer to 375 degrees for 3 minutes. Add the coconut shrimp in a single layer to the air fryer, this will likely take several batches. Spray the tops of the shrimp with cooking oil. Cook the shrimp 3 minutes, flip and spray that side with oil if needed, cook an additional 3 minutes. 

This delicious Keto Coconut Shrimp will quickly join your low-carb dinner rotation! This low-carb seafood dinner can be cooked in 30 minutes or less on the stove, in the oven, or in an Air Fryer!

Can I meal prep this recipe?

Because shrimp can become overcooked so easily, I don’t recommend cooking this meal beforehand, then reheating to serve. If you want to bread the shrimp ahead of time, you could do this up to 24 hours before cooking. You could also bread the shrimp then freeze for a great keto freezer meal!

To freeze, place the breaded, uncooked shrimp on a baking sheet in a single layer (not touching) and freeze for two hours. Once frozen, store in a freezer bag, write the cooking instructions, and keep frozen up to six months. This makes it a great non-casserole option if you’re helping stock a freezer for a new mom or struggling family member!

How should I reheat breaded shrimp?

If you have leftovers, they can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. The best way to reheat crispy breaded shrimp is to use the oven or an air fryer. Preheat to 350 degrees F and cook covered about 10 minutes (oven) or uncovered 3-4 minutes (air fryer).

If you have have frozen your uncooked, breaded shrimp, you can cook them straight from frozen! Just choose your cooking method and add 2-5 minutes – check frequently to see if they are finished. If you allow the frozen shrimp to thaw before cooking, the breading may slide off, so I don’t highly recommend it.

  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes*
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon confectioners monkfruit
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne (if desired)
  • You will also need oil for frying. You can use vegetable, canola, or avocado oil.

Instructions

    You will need three separate bowls to bread the shrimp:

    Bowl 1: Combine the coconut flour, salt and pepper. 
    Bowl 2: Combine the eggs and chili garlic sauce.
    Bowl 3: Combine the pork rind panko, coconut flakes, sweetener and spices. 

    1. Roll the shrimp in each bowl, using your fingers, a fork or tongs to make this easy. Set the breaded shrimp on a baking sheet or cutting board as you work. 
    2. When ready to fry add about 1 inch of oil to a large skillet. Heat the oil over medium heat and fry 2-3 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown on both sides.
    3. Remove from the skillet and set on a paper towel lined plate.
