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.

- 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.
