Easy Keto Shrimp Scampi With Only One Sheet Pan

It’s honestly ridiculous how easy this recipe is to prepare, and yet it ends up offering an almost gourmet style shrimp meal, perfect for seafood lovers on a keto diet.

To make it, you’ll first want to preheat your oven to 400°F and then grab a small bowl to combine the butter, garlic cloves, Italian seasoning, and lemon juice. Next, take all of the shrimp and arrange them on your baking sheet. Pour about ⅔ of the butter mixture over top of the shrimp and toss to coat. Bake the shrimp at 400°F for approximately five minutes and then remove from the oven.

You can then add in all of your zucchini veggie noodles before pouring the remaining amount of your butter mixture over top. Toss to coat and then put the baking sheet back into the oven, baking everything for an additional 5-10 minutes.

Why is My Shrimp Scampi Watery?

The most common reason that people end up with watery shrimp scampi is because they aren’t using enough butter when making the sauce. That’s exactly why this recipe uses ½ cup of butter. It helps to ensure that your sauce ends up nice and thick.

Can I Use Frozen Shrimp for This Recipe?

Yes, you can use either fresh or frozen shrimp when making this recipe. Whenever I make it, I prefer using fresh shrimp but you’re more than welcome to go with whatever type of shrimp you enjoy!

If using frozen shrimp, be sure to thaw the shrimp completely and drain the excess water. Pat the shrimp dry before placing them on the baking sheet.

How Do I Properly Store Shrimp Scampi Leftovers?

Ended up with a bit more shrimp scampi than you can eat in one sitting? Not to worry as this recipe is every bit as good when enjoyed as leftovers as it is when it’s fresh out of the oven.

So long as you make sure to properly store your shrimp scampi in an airtight container, you can keep it in the fridge for up to four days. On the other hand, if you want to make a bulk batch of shrimp scampi to freeze, you definitely can. Just go with the same idea: use the proper kind of airtight container and you can expect your shrimp scampi to last for up to two months in the freezer.
