Keto Shrimp and Peppers is a vibrant, flavorful dish that's both low in carbs and packed with nutrients. This easy-to-make recipe combines fresh shrimp with colorful bell peppers, aromatic spices, and a zesty lime dressing for a satisfying meal that aligns with keto dietary guidelines.

Instructions:

1. Prepare Shrimp Marinade: In a medium bowl, combine the shrimps, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, ground cumin, and salt. Toss until the shrimps are evenly coated. Set aside and let marinate for about 10 minutes.
2. Cook Vegetables: While the shrimp is marinating, add a splash of oil to the preheated pan. Add the sliced red peppers, green pepper, and onions. Sauté the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes, or until they start to become tender but still have a bit of crunch.
3. Cook Shrimp: Push the vegetables to the sides of the pan, creating space in the center. Add the marinated shrimps to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimps turn pink and are cooked through.
4. Combine and Finish: Once the shrimps are cooked, mix them together with the vegetables in the pan. Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
5. Garnish and Serve: Remove the pan from heat. Sprinkle the chopped coriander leaves over the shrimp and vegetables mixture.
6. Serve: Serve the chili lime keto shrimp and peppers hot, either on their own or over a bed of cauliflower rice to keep it keto-friendly.

Tips:

- For a more intense flavor, marinate the shrimp in lime juice and spices for 15-20 minutes before cooking.

- Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they can become rubbery. They are done when they turn pink and opaque.

- Cut the peppers and onions into uniform slices to ensure even cooking.

- For an added crunch, consider garnishing the dish with chopped nuts like almonds or cashews, keeping in mind their carb content.

- Serve with a side of cauliflower rice or a fresh green salad to make a complete low-carb meal.

With its perfect balance of spicy, tangy, and savory notes, Chili Keto Shrimp and Peppers offers a delightful explosion of flavors in every bite. It's a quick, nutritious option that can easily become a favorite in your meal rotation. Enjoy it as a standalone meal or pair it with your favorite low-carb side dish.
