Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb medium shrimp peeled and tails off, fresh or frozen (* see tip right)
  • 1 T olive oil
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • 1 14.5 oz can fire-roasted stewed tomatoes, diced
  • 1 bell pepper chopped (about a ½ cup)
  • ½ cup chunky salsa
  • Dash of sea salt and black pepper
  • ½ t cumin
  • ½ t chili powder or ancho chili powder
  • ¼ t paprika or cayenne pepper
  • 1 t minced garlic
  • 3-4 T chopped cilantro
  • Keto tortillas recipe page 42 or Bibb lettuce leaves to serve

Optional:

  • Top with extra cilantro, chopped purple cabbage, chopped green onion, coconut yogurt, avocado, jalapeño pepper, or pickled onions and carrots.

Instructions
 

  • Peel the shrimp and remove the tails.
  • Layer the raw shrimp at the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then mix in the chopped onion.
  • Drain the canned, fire-roasted tomatoes, and pour it over the shrimp. Stir together.
  • Add the bell pepper and the rest of the ingredients, including seasonings and cilantro. Stir all together. Cook on LOW for 2–3 hours.
  • Check on the shrimp around 2 hours of cooking. If they look almost done, cook for another 30 minutes to an hour. They should be seasoned nicely and pink, similar to that of steamed shrimp.
  • Serve with Bibb lettuce leaves or keto tortillas.
  • Top with a selection of your favorite toppings such as extra cilantro, chopped purple cabbage, chopped green onion, coconut yogurt, avocado, jalapeño pepper, or pickled onions and carrots.

Tip:

  • If you are using frozen shrimp, quickly thaw in water for 10 minutes, then peel.
