This dish is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner, a light appetiser or even as a protein-rich addition to salads and grain bowls. It pairs well with roasted vegetables, pasta or crusty bread for a more filling meal. High in protein, low in carbs and bursting with flavour, this shrimp dish is an excellent choice for those following a keto, paleo or Whole30 diet. Ready in under 10 minutes.
