This creamy garlic shrimp with broccoli takes around 15 minutes to make. It’s a delicious and easy keto dinner recipe that kinda reminds me of pasta, but there isn’t any. You only need one pan to make it.
This meal was definitely inspired by a keto chicken recipe I saw on Pinterest by Gimme Delicious. Seriously, I salivated a lot while looking at her gorgeous blog. If you’re doing keto or just love good food, definitely go check her out.

To me, the only things this dish needed in the end were Parmesan and black pepper. And lots of those.
How To Make Garlic Shrimp
- use peeled and deveined shrimp
- chop some broccoli, tomatoes and other vegetables of your choice
- cook shrimp and broccoli in a pan with olive oil
- Don’t wait too long to add garlic and the chopped tomato, stir in some cream cheese and you’ve got a creamy garlicky shrimp.
- From there you can add some arugula, basil and top everything with Parmesan cheese, because who doesn’t like Parmesan?
I hope you like this quick shrimp recipe as much as I did! Remember it’s allowed to share with others, but not necessary.
