Gambas al Pil Pil

Keto Gambas al Pil Pil

The Basque dish 'pil-pil' is a popular dish in Spain and throughout the Latin American world. It is often a soup-like stew served with big chunks of bread for sopping up the hot and spicy liquid. Our low-carb version is more of traditional main-course shrimp dish with a velvety sauce that possesses the personality of the cauldron-version poured over the top of a cauliflower-mash and the charred shrimp. The amount of heat depends on how many peppers you put into the salsa roja. Don't scrimp on the garlic. It's supposed to be the star of the dish.

Step 1
Add oil or ghee to a pan over medium heat. We used a carbon-steel flat-bottom wok. Add onions, peppers, mushrooms and the garlic. Sauté and stir thoroughly.
Step 2
Sprinkle the spice blend over the shrimp in a small bowl. Coat the shrimp thorougly with the rub. Place the shrimp against the bottom of the pan to char the spices.
Step 3

Deglaze the pan with white wine and add the stock and salsa roja. Then add the butter and stir to create a velvety sauce. Remove the pan from the heat after 3 to 4 minutes, being careful not to overcook the shrimp.

Step 4
This dish is best-served in a rustic fashion. We served it on a cast-iron platter. Place 2 small spoonfuls of the cauliflower mash in the center of the plate. Spoon the shrimp and sauce over the top. Garnish with the green slices of the scallion.
Notes and Tips
Serve with 3 slices of toasted low-carb sourdough bread cut into 4 pieces and omit the cauliflower mash for a roughly equivalent carb-count.
