Preparation Steps

1

Heat coconut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.

2

Add minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

3

Add the minced Thai bird's eye chilies and sauté for another minute until aromatic.

4

Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

5

Add the cut green beans to the same skillet. Stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until they are tender-crisp.

6

Pour in the coconut milk. Bring to a gentle simmer.

7

Stir in the fish sauce, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

8

If using, add the grated kaffir lime leaves and stir to combine.

9

Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Stir gently to coat the shrimp and green beans in the sauce.

10

Simmer for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce has slightly thickened and the shrimp are heated through.

11

Serve hot, preferably with cauliflower rice or shirataki noodles.

Managing Blood Sugar

"For a richer flavor, you can add a tablespoon of keto-friendly shrimp paste (bagoong alamang) along with the fish sauce. Ensure your coconut milk is full-fat for the best creamy texture and keto adherence. Adjust chili levels based on your spice tolerance; starting with one chili and adding more if desired is a good approach."
