Bought the big bag of frozen peeled and washed gulf shrimp from Sam's this weekend and want to make something with it without any carbs so pasta is out. Thinking of sauteeing the shrimp in a little butter and salt and pepper and then putting them on a salad for supper.

What else could I do without adding carbs?

Seafood Eggplant dressing. I have no idea about the carb count though. Alot of the time, I just skewer them, throw them on the grill and eat them as is.

That's some small skrimps for a grill.
I'd chill them throw them on a Romaine salad with cucumbers, mushrooms and low cal dressing.

Otherwise I'd just mix some ketchup and horse radish and eat them straight up.

Or, you could make a shrimp bisque.

Blacken them in a skillet and serve on a salad or a steak.

Gumbo with no rice possibly but the roux would add some carbs for sure.

Boil or steam and make an old fashioned shrimp salad and stuff it in a good homegrown tomato.

When I used to do carb restriction, one of my favorite things to do was cook a spaghetti squash in the oven and toss the strands in with shrimp I sauteed in olive oil with a bit of shallot and garlic. Salt, pepper, and finish with some fresh parsley or basil. Serve with a side salad and you're good to go. Pretty tasty stuff.

Shrimp Dip

1 # Peeled & De-veined Small Shrimp

Powdered Crab/Shrimp/Crawfish Boil (I suggest “Cajun Land” brand, which for some reason I can only find at Winn-Dixie, but you can use anything but that “Old Bay” crap)

DO NOT USE LIQUID CRAB BOIL. IT WILL OVERPOWER YOUR ENTIRE DIP NO MATTER HOW LITTLE YOU USE. I LEARNED THIS THE HARD WAY.

Garlic Powder

Parsley

1/4 cup Diced Yellow Onion

1/2 cup Diced Bell Pepper

1# Cream Cheese

1/4 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream

1/2 Teaspoon Dry Mustard

2 teaspoon Cajun/Creole Seasoning

2 oz. White Wine

1 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese

3 Large Roma Tomatoes, Diced

1 Large Bunch of Green Onions, Thinly Sliced

2 Dashes Tabasco Sauce OR 1/2 Teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes

Preparation

Sauté onion and bell pepper in a pan with a little butter. When the onions are translucent, add in the shrimp. Be sure not to use too much butter, because the shrimp will be giving off a lot of liquid. Only use enough to keep anything from sticking to the pan. While cooking the shrimp, lightly season them with parsley, garlic powder, and crab boil. Just season them to taste. When the shrimp are done, put them on the side in a mixing bowl.

SLOWLY melt down the cream cheese over LOW to MEDIUM heat. Stir constantly, and don’t leave it unattended, as it will burn easily. When the cream cheese is melted down, blend in the heavy whipping cream. Next, stir in dry mustard, cajun/creole seasoning, and white wine. When everything is nicely blended, fold in the parmesan cheese and continue to stir until its all melted.

When the cheese is melted, fold in the shrimp, onion, and bell pepper you have reserved on the side from earlier along with the roma tomatoes and green onions. MAKE SURE the parmesan is melted before you do this because you don’t really want to cook these last ingredients, just warm them up. Spice with your preference of Tabasco or red pepper flakes and let dip simmer on lowest possible heat for another 5-10 minutes, just until it starts to bubble.

This right here. Or skewer them with some onion and bell pepper, season accordingly and grill them.
