Keto Creamed Firecracker Shrimp. In the good old days I used to sop the heavy cream in Creamed Firecracker Shrimp gravy with tons of buttered French bread but that was then and this is now. This is a very easy recipe and can be finished to table in about 30 minutes assuming you have already prepared your spaghetti squash. Keto creamed firecracker shrimp is also divine served over buttered spinach or kale.
