Keto Firecracker Shrimp
If you love the salty heat of Sriracha, the you must try this firecracker shrimp recipe! Be forewarned, however, this dish is HOT! If this recipe is too spicy for you, you may reduce the amount of Sriracha used or reduce the marinating time. While this is suggested as a single serving, you may also choose to split the amount of shrimp in half and serve over a cauliflower rice bowl for a more filling meal!

⅛ cup

2 tablespoon
Rice Vinegar by Kikkoman
2 teaspoon

Recipe Steps
steps 3
1 h 10 min
Step 1
In a bowl, combine the shrimp (peeled and deveined), soy sauce, sriracha, rice vinegar, lime juice, pepper, sesame seeds, and minced garlic. Cover the bowl, and let the shrimp marinate in the fridge for one hour.Step 2
Heat a skillet to medium-high heat. Pour in the marinated shrimp and all the additional liquids. Let the shrimp cook on both sides for a couple minutes each until the shrimp is golden brown. You can turn down the heat slightly to avoid burning the sauce. The sauce will reduce slightly and become sticky.Step 3
For serving, scoop the shrimp and all firecracker sauce onto a plate. Sprinkle fresh lime zest over the shrimp for a citrus tang that will cut the heat!

I used coconut aminos instead of the soy sauce to cut the salt. Very spicy, I forgot the lime juice so less Siracha next time

Question: I started Keto diet about a month ago. Have noticed clumps of my thick hair falling out with combing, brushing, washing, etc. Sound familiar?

It was edible, but so salty, even with low sodium soy sauce. I also had to take the shrimp out of the pan and add xanthum gum to the sauce to thicken it. I will probably try again and make some more adjustments.

Where did the carbs come from? None of the ingredients have enough carbs to result in 5g carbs per serving. Thanks.

Shrimp have carbs! So does garlic and some soy sauces. It took me a long time to realize that I need to consider the minimal carbs of some ingredients because when you use several, it can actually add up.

I know !! I saw that a lot of recipes come up with way more carbs than when you make it with your own ingredients…. Go figure

Can you use chicken? I do not eat seafood.

Hi there, Cubed chicken breast would taste very good here! Please note you may need to spend extra time cooking, so your chicken isn't underdone.

Great taste but I recommend to pour the liquid in and boil it for a few minutes before adding the shrimp to avoid over cooking.
