This low, carb high protein Keto Shrimp & Asparagus Skillet is a great dish for those busy weeknights and for meal prepping. It is creamy, quick, and easy! I use some of my favorite spicy Dan-O’s seasoning in this dish to give it the perfect amount kick as well!
This dish really gives you the best of both worlds. It is low carb, high protein, and gluten free. It only takes 20 minutes to make, and is a one pan meal! I am all about those quick meals during the week that don’t require me to be in the kitchen cooking and doing dishes for a long time. Be sure to try my Keto Chicken Alfredo Bake as well.

What You Will Need
- Shrimp – 2 pounds of peeled & deveined shrimp. You can use frozen shrimp, but just defrost it beforehand!
- Garlic – I used 1 teaspoon of minced garlic but you can use as much as you would like.
- Butter- 1 tablespoon to sauté the garlic in.
- Asparagus – 2 cups of fresh asparagus, with the woody ends chopped off. The easiest way to do this is to hold your asparagus horizontally & snap them with your hands. They will naturally break at their breaking point!
- Heavy Whipping Cream – You will need 1 cup of heavy whipping cream for your alfredo sauce.
- Parmesan Cheese – 1/3 cup of shredded parmesan cheese to go in your alfredo sauce.
- Garlic Salt, and Pepper – For flavor.
- Dan-O’s Spicy Seasoning – For flavor and a hint of spice to the dish. You can actually use the discount code “COOKINGKATIE” for 10% off at Dan-O’s! I love Dan-O’s seasoning because it is zero calories, low sodium, and has no chemicals or sugar.
How To Make It
- Heat up a large saucepan over medium/high heat. Melt the 1 tablespoon of butter in your pan.
- Add in the minced garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant. In the meantime, season your shrimp with the garlic salt, pepper, and Dan-O’s Spicy Seasoning.
- Add your shrimp to your saucepan and cook until the shrimp is almost fully cooked, about 5 minutes.
- Next, add in your chopped asparagus and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp is fully cooked.
- Pour in the heavy whipping cream and parmesan cheese. Allow the sauce to bubble up a little and then reduce the heat on your stove to low. Continuously stir everything together until the parmesan cheese is fully melted and the sauce has thickened.
- Serve and enjoy!
Other Variations
This meal can be so customizable with your favorite protein & veggies. You could make this a keto chicken alfredo by substituting the shrimp for chicken! You can use a different vegetable or mix of veggies as well.
What to Serve With It
This is a one pan meal, but if you want a side you could also serve this with some cauliflower rice, zucchini noodles, salad, etc.!
How Do I Store Leftovers?
You can store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days in the fridge, if they even last you that long! This meal reheats great in the microwave.
My favorite storage containers are by the brand Razab. I do giveaways with them and truly love their products so much. All of their containers are BPA free, oven safe, freezer safe, dishwasher save, and have steam release valves! You can find them on Amazon here.
