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.
