Light up your tastebuds! Keto slow cooker firecracker shrimp is the perfect dinner that everyone loves (and only has 2 grams net carbs!).
Keto Crockpot Shrimp
I love using my crockpot all year long. It makes some amazing soups in the winter and I love how it fills my kitchen with the most incredible aromas. It’s tough to wait until dinner sometimes!
This shrimp recipe is unlike anything else you’ll make in the slow cooker. It’s not just a winter recipe. It’s an anytime at all recipe!
The shrimp is smothered in a sweet and spicy sauce that wakes up your taste buds. This is a recipe you’ll want to show off!
Firecracker Shrimp
What is firecracker shrimp? It’s shrimp covered in a spicy sauce that’s made with Sriracha, ginger, chili garlic sauce, and sugar-free honey (and a few other ingredients, too).
I added red pepper flakes and jalapenos to make the shrimp even spicier. Please, adjust the spice level to your liking. If you want a milder dish, don’t add the jalapenos and use less red pepper flakes.
Spicy Slow Cooker Shrimp
Sriracha contains sugar, so if you want this shrimp to be spicier, I suggest adding more red pepper flakes and ginger paste. You can even chop up some habanero peppers to make the shrimp spicier.
These are all better ways of making the shrimp spicier without adding more sugar and carbs to the recipe.
This recipe only has 2 grams net carbs in each serving, so you don’t have to worry about the Sriracha much – just don’t go crazy and use a ton of it.
Sweet and Spicy Shrimp
This is the perfect recipe to use in your meal prep. As the shrimp sits in the refrigerator, coated in the sweet and spicy firecracker sauce, it will soak it up and taste even better the next day.
Keep it in an airtight food storage container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
What To Eat With Shrimp
This Chinese shrimp recipe will taste delicious with some keto loaded cauliflower rice balls on the side. Or stick with the traditional idea and serve this on top of some keto cauliflower rice.
I prefer serving this on top of cauliflower rice because the firecracker sauce coats the cauliflower bites!
Of course, Egg roll in a bowl is a perfect side dish. It’s mild and kids love it, plus it really tastes like an egg roll. It’s a really filling side dish that you can eat as a main course, so keep that in mind when you make it.
