Introduction to 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 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 Parmesan Brussels Sprouts or Roasted Cauliflower 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!
