Low Carb Shrimp Veggie Casserole

I am still on my low carb diet and really enjoying it. Most of the time when I go on a diet, it doesn't last too long. However, with all of the great recipes out there, like this one, I am finding that I can stay on low carb.

Eclectic Red Barn: Shrimp Veggie Casserole

I found this recipe over at Cotter Crunch. I made some changes to it. I did not add jalapeños and I also added both zucchini and yellow squash.

It is one of those dishes that you can add what you like to make it your own. Don't like shrimp, add chicken or make it a veggie side dish.

Shrimp Veggie Casserole

Ingredients:

· 16 medium shrimp (peeled, thawed)

· 2- 3 chopped garlic cloves

· One large tomato (sliced 1/3 inch thick)

· 1 summer yellow squash (sliced 1/4 inch thick)

1 zucchini (sliced 1/4 inch thick)

· 1/4 cup red onion (sliced or chopped)

· 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese (I used freshly grated)

· 1/2 cup almond flour

· 1/4 teaspoon sea salt and black pepper each

· 1/2 teaspoon chili pepper flakes or seasoning

· 1 tablespoon softened or melted butter

1/3 cup cream (or coconut cream works as well)

· Two eggs

· Cilantro/parsley for toppings and garnish

Instructions:

1. First make sure your shrimp is peeled and thawed out. Preheat oven to 350F

2. Slice all veggies and layer them evenly into a greased or oil casserole dish. Place Shrimp on top or mixed within the veggie layers.

3. In small bowl, mix your eggs, garlic, almond flour, butter, cream, and seasoning.

4. Pour this evenly over your shrimp and veggie dish. Then add your parmesan on top (evenly).

5. Bake at 350 Fahrenheit for 45 minutes. Depending on your oven, it could be less. Just want to make sure that your shrimp is cooked and your veggies are nice and tender. so be sure to check at 30 minutes just in case.

The top should be a little golden brown due to the baked Parmesan.

6. And the eggs should be cooked through.

7. Once cooked remove and add cilantro or parsley on top!

8. Feel free to Season with additional salt-and-pepper.
