THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTION AND INGREDIENT NOTES:

BUTTER:

• Use real unsalted butter for a smooth, silky texture. For a low-carb, keto diet, replace ghee or coconut oil.

HEAVY CREAM:

• For flawless and creamy taste, add cream & rich protein. Alternatively, use sugar-free coconut cream if low-carb.

SHRIMP:

• Try slices of white fish or scallops for a change. Fresh shrimps are added to provide richness and perfect taste.

PALMINI SHEETS:

• To replace spaghetti noodles, use zucchini ribbons or palmini lasagna sheets. They contain low-carb content.

GARLIC:

• Use a pinch of garlic powder to provide a balanced garlic flavor in the bake. Increases scampi essence by adding fresh garlic.

OLIVE OIL:

• Enhances the flavor and adds healthy fats. Avocado oil is a great keto alternative.

LEMON JUICE:

• Balances the sourness and buttery flavor. If necessary, you can substitute it with white wine vinegar or apple vinegar.

PARMESAN & MOZZARELLA:

• They bind and thicken the sauce. For a more complex taste, you may use Gruyère or Asiago.

RED PEPPER FLAKES:

• Sprinkle it for a spicy taste. For a sour flavor, use smoked paprika.

ITALIAN SPICES:

• Gives out a herbaceous aroma. A mixture of basil, oregano, and dried thyme is even more effective.
