INGREDIENT NOTES:
HEAVY CREAM:
- Heavy cream produces a velvety and thick texture of the sauce. As a replacement, we can use coconut cream, almond milk, or cream cheese.
STEAK:
- Steak provides nutritious fats and protein. Alternatively, you can utilize lamb chunks, ground beef, or thighs.
PARMESAN CHEESE:
- Parmesan helps to create a thick consistency of the sauce. Substitute it with Asiago cheese, nutritional yeast, or Pecorino Romano.
SHRIMP:
- Shrimp gives a juicy texture and sweet seafood flavor. Swap it with white fish, scallops, or salmon chunks.
CHEDDAR CHEESE:
- Cheddar cheese quickly melts in a sauce and gives a strong flavor. Replace it with vegan keto cheese, Gouda, mozzarella, or Colby Jack.
ZUCCHINI:
- Use the zucchini noodles as an alternative to the regular noodles or pasta. It adds bulk and light crunchiness to the dish. As a substitute, you might use broccoli, cauliflower rice, shirataki noodles, cauliflower rice, or asparagus.
BUTTER:
- Butter is utilized for the even cooking of shrimp and steak. Switch it out with olive oil, ghee, or coconut oil.
