What Kind Of Shrimp Should You Use?

Since this recipe is made easy in your Instant Pot, you will want to use frozen shrimp. If you use defrosted or fresh shrimp, it will likely overcook under pressure.

What Kind Of Pasta Should You Use?

For this recipe, I used a low carb pasta. I know that it isn’t the cheapest or easiest to find option. So if you’re cooking for family members that aren’t eating low carb, feel free to use linguine or angel hair. Just remember that for every cup of pasta, you need to add 2 cups of liquid so it cooks thoroughly. This is also delicious served over shirataki noodles. You’ll want to cook them separately if you go this route.

Low Carb Shrimp Scampi

I wanted to make something relatively high in protein and fat, low in carbs but also family friendly because I don’t feel like making something else for a son who is selective about what he eats. This Instant Pot Shrimp Scampi went together quickly and definitely doesn’t need an Instant Pot, although that’s how I made mine. When we eat this Low Carb Shrimp Scampi, my husband and I will eat very little of the pasta, and lots of sauce and shrimp. My son can enjoy all the pasta he wants and everyone can be happy. Nutritionally, this packs quite a hefty protein punch, which means hopefully I’ll stay full for longer.
