Tomato Basil Shrimp is an easy low carb, keto friendly, and gluten-free meal.
This is the perfect weeknight meal when the last thing you want to do is prepare dinner after a long day. If you’re a shrimp fanatic you will make this recipe at least once a week. This tomato basil shrimp can be served with a side salad and some steamed vegetables but you can also, of course, serve it with garlic bread, pasta, or white fluffy rice. I suggest using fresh ingredients for this recipe, fresh basil, and fresh garlic is key.
I used grape tomatoes, diced tomatoes, and lots of fresh garlic. Lots.
