Let’s Make a Low Carb Shrimp and Sausage Skillet
This is a brief rundown of the recipe, complete measurements and instructions can be found in the recipe card at the end of the post
How To Serve This Dish:
In our family, we eat it as is! I just serve it in a bowl. But if you wanted to bulk it up a bit you could serve it over cauliflower rice to keep it both Keto and Whole30. It would be delicious over regular rice as well.

I absolutely, hands down, loved this recipe! It has the perfect blend of spices that blend so well with all of the rest of the ingredients. I have to watch my fat intake, so I did cut back a bit on the sausage recommended which, I think, made it more of a nice surprise when I found a piece! I can’t say enough about the veggies in this dish. They were perfectly suited to the entire recipe and I could wait to take another bite! This recipe is going to the front of my recipe file!
Amazing! Added 1 tsp of mild creole seasoning for a little something extra and used andouille chicken sausage. Will definitely be making again! Delish!
I have been making this recipe about once a month for a couple years now and it never disappoints. Sometimes we eat it over brown rice and other times on tortillas as it works well for our bodybuilding diets. It has truly become a staple in our home and it never fails that my hubby will request it if I haven’t made it in a few weeks. Thank you for providing us with a household favorite!
My family loved this recipe! I substituted sausage for chicken sausage and it was great!!!
Absolutely delicious!! My husband and I loved it! So tasty!! I did add minced garlic to it and hot paprika!! I served it over keto cheesy cauliflower rice!! Definitely will be making this often!! Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe! Looking forward to trying more of your recipes ♥️
Excellent recipe!! Very delicious. I served this on a bed of mashed plantains which is whole30 compliant. I used some of the grease from the sausage frying to soften the mashed boiled plantains and added a little water.
Great recipe! I added mine on top of yellow rice, but it would also taste good alone
Can you freeze leftovers?
Great recipe! Very tasty
Looks delicious i have to try. Thanks for the receipt
I loved this dish. So easy to make and so delicious. I made it for the first time two weeks ago, and my husband is already asking me to cook it again. A definite hit in our house.
Amazing! I love the spices and the full flavors but I did substitute chicken for the sausage to get a little leaner protein.
Now that is a great idea!
Thank you
So tasty and versatile. Added mushrooms and some chipotle powder. Yum.
What is serving size for this dish?
Oh now that sounds great I’m adding that too
So delicious!!
Just finished eating this tonight. Big flavor! Found grass fed beef smoked sausage (paleo friendly) soo good! Thanks for another great recipe!
I am so glad you enjoyed it 🙂
What kind of sides would you serve with this?
I made it a little less keto (and a lot more lazy lol) with a frozen stir-fry vegetable mix. I used the same seasonings/meat. THIS IS DELICIOUS! And toddler approved!
I am so glad you and your family enjoyed it!
This looks delicious! What kind of sausage did you use?
Thank you and I used kielbasa! My favorite Whole30 compliant option is from Pederson’s Farms
This dish was AMAZING! Even my picky eater ate it and gave me the thumbs up!

So glad you enjoyed it Reginald!
I made this for supper the other night and it was delicious (I served it with cauliflower rice). Today for brunch I heated up some of the leftovers, added a little spinach and topped with a couple fried eggs…yum!!! Such good flavor!! Thank you for this recipe.
