Keto Sauce Béarnaise

Keto Sauce BéarnaiseKeto Sauce BéarnaiseKeto Sauce BéarnaiseKeto Sauce BéarnaiseKeto Sauce Béarnaise. In the summer of 1972 in East Lansing, MI I had the opportunity to live in a house with 5 HRI (hotel, restaurant, & institutional management) students and I jumped at it.  It was the responsibility of each of us, one day a week, to shop with $10.00, prepare a meal for 6, and all sit down together to eat.  Talk about the good ole days-can you imagine feeding 6 college students on $10/day now?  Someone made this recipe and I have been making it ever since.  My only tweak has been the addition of the tarragon vinegar.   The reason I like it is that it is made in a food processor rather than over a double boiler of hot water.  This is so much much easier and pretty much full-proof if your butter is hot enough.  The French make this sauce so much harder and as you can see, I now make it the old fashioned way.

The absolute secret to this particular Keto Sauce Béarnaise is the use of tarragon vinegar.  I do add lemon juice to mine because I often enough serve it with seafood but I find the lemon juice goes with about anything.  Good on a brick but better yet on a good steak or Stuffed Shrimp. Those are NOT potatoes in the two lower pictures. They are either Dilled Red Radishes or Daikon Radish Fries but they sure do act and taste like potatoes.

Sauce Béarnaise
Print
Ingredients
  1. Ingredients
  2. 3 Large Egg Yolks Room Temperature
  3. 2 T White Wine
  4. 1 Stick Butter
  5. 1 Minced Nice Sized Shallot
  6. ¼ C Tarragon Vinegar
  7. ¼ C Water
  8. ½ t Dried Tarragon Leaves
  9. Pinch Cayenne Pepper
  10. ¼ t Tarragon
  11. 2 T Lemon Juice (Optional For When Using Sauce With Seafood)
  12. ¼ t Salt
Directions
  1. Start to slowly clarify butter-if you do it slowly it will not sputter & spatter and as it begins to clarify swirl the saucepan several times.
  2. Mince Shallot, add to vinegar & water, add ½ t tarragon and cayenne pepper and simmer ever so slowly. The idea is the get the minced shallot very soft. If you need more moisture add a bit more vinegar. When this is finished it should have just a little moisture left-maybe a T or so.
  3. Put egg yolks and white wine in small processor & add shallot mixture.
  4. Strain butter to get rid of the little cruddy buttons and immediately begin slowing pouring into running processor. It should thicken toward the end if your butter is hot enough so make sure you take butter from the stove, strain, and begin using immediately. The idea is that the very hot butter will “cook” the yolks and thicken them.
  5. Add lemon juice, (if using) last ¼ t tarragon, salt, and process. Taste and correct seasoning if necessary.

Low Carb Stuffed Shrimp

1 Reply

Low Carb Stuffed ShrimpLow Carb Stuffed ShrimpLow Carb Stuffed Shrimp. I have had a lot of really good food in my life and this Low Carb Stuffed Shrimp is in my top 5.  I was unable to eat it for several years until I came up with the Carbalose Flour Bread recipe and now I can finally have it again so YeeHaw.  I also have for many years loved dilled potatoes with low carb stuffed shrimp and I now I can eat something very close as I can eat it with Dilled Red Radishes.  Pretty tricky huh? And this is drool worthy in my foodie world.

You will need Carbalose Flour Bread Breadcrumbs  and the recipe for Sauce Béarnaise to complete the dish. If you are a complete shrimp & crab purest there is always Keto Crab Stuffed Shrimp.

All my other Carbalose Recipes are listed at the bottom of the Carbalose Informational Page.

Stuffed Shrimp
Print
Ingredients
  1. 1 Lb. Very Large Shrimp (Hopefully 16 Per Pound)
  2. 3 C Carbalose Flour*** Breadcrumbs
  3. ¼ C Grated Onions (I put mine is a small processor which will get them very small)
  4. ½ C Sour Cream
  5. ¼ C Melted Butter
  6. ½ t Tarragon
  7. ¼ t Thyme
  8. ¼ t Pepper
  9. ¼ t Salt
  10. 2 T Melted Butter
Directions
  1. When ready to cook preheat oven to 375°.
  2. Carefully peel shrimp trying not to lose the tail meat.
  3. Put bread crumbs in a bowl.
  4. Mix next 8 ingredients together and then mix well into bread crumbs.
  5. Count your shrimp making sure you have that many little flattened stuffing balls. Use about a tablespoon for each which will sit atop your shrimp.
  6. Foil line a pan and smear last 2 T of butter. I like to sprinkle a little salt, pepper, and garlic salt on the butter but it is not necessary. The garlic salt just adds a little something extra-a lagniappe if you will.
  7. Take the shrimp and make a circle tucking the tail inside if possible.
  8. Top each shrimp with a round puck of stuffing.
  9. Bake 10-12 minutes and finish by browning the stuffing under the broiler.
  10. Serve topped with Sauce Béarnaise.

Carbalose Flour Focaccia
Print
Ingredients
  1. 2¼ C Carbalose Flour
  2. ¼ C Wheat Gluten
  3. ¼ C Coconut Flour
  4. ¼ C Golden Flaxseed Meal
  5. 1 t Salt
  6. ¼ t Guar Gum
  7. ¼ t Xanthan Gum
  8. 1¼ C Warm Water
  9. 1½ T Yeast
  10. 1 t Sugar
  11. 7 Drops Liquid Sucralose*
  12. ½ C Olive Oil
  13. 2 t Minced Garlic
  14. 1 t Dried Basil
  15. 1 t Dried Rosemary
  16. ½ t Dried Thyme
  17. ½ t Dried Oregano
  18. ¼ t Salt
  19. ¼ t Pepper
Instructions
  1. Bloom yeast with sugar in 1 cup warm water for 10 minutes.
  2. Put first 7 ingredients in processor and turn on just to blend.
  3. Mix olive oil, spices, garlic, salt & pepper and heat on low 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add ½ olive oil mixture to dry ingredients and pulse machine several times.
  5. Add liquid Sucralose to bloomed yeast and with machine running add to dry ingredients.
  6. Run processor for at least a minute and probably a little longer adding any additional water as needed-this should be about ¼ C more. You want to make sure there is enough water. Dough should have a loose consistency and will not be sticky on your hands. At this point the dough should have the same look and feel of regular bread.
  7. Form into 2 balls, put in un-greased bowls and cover with film for about 30 minutes until doubled.
  8. Turn out dough onto lightly floured counter and keeping their shapes, roll into big 1 ½” thick circles and put onto sheet pan lined with parchment paper, or better yet your Silpat.
  9. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  10. Drizzle and brush rest of olive oil mixture all over both tops.
  11. Let rise 15-20 minutes. Do not over proof as it will raise more in the oven and Focaccia is a relatively flat bread. Using your finger tips make “dimples” all over dough.
  12. Bake 15-20 minutes or until light golden brown.
  13. Cut each round into 8 traditional “pie wedges”.
  14. 16 Servings
  15. 115 Calories, 6g Protein, 6g Fat , 9g Carbs, 5g Fiber, 4g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. Please note the use *Sucralose in each of the recipes using Carbalose is only to negate the bitter taste of the flour and DOES NOT make the recipe “sweet”.
  2. You may also add black, green, or kalamata olives, thin slices of fresh tomato, slivered onions, & maybe a little parmesan or mozzarella cheese and...this already seems suspiciously like pizza. Um Yum-Oh Boy.
  3. You do not necessarily need to make this into rounds as it can be formed into any shape you wish and no matter the shape, it is terrific dipped in olive oil.

  2. If you like really smoky sauce, add another tsp. of liquid smoke.
  3. If you like it sweet add a drop or two of EZ-Sweetz or use low carb ketchup.
  4. Like lots of onion? Add more. Just remember onions have carbs which is why I grate mine. Grating gets you the most flavor, punch and bang for your buck.
  5. Spicier? Add more Cayenne.
  6. More piquant? Add more chili powder.
  7. Like Worcestershire? Add some.

  1. I very rarely buy carrots because I consider them like little sugar bombs but they are an essential ingredient for this soup and anyway, it’s not much.
  2. You might be surprised but this soup has a slightly sweet taste, probably because of the garlic.
  3. Eat this with good friends. It is absolutely fabulous but not necessarily good on a first date.
  4. Adding sour cream and onions to soup can sometimes be amazing. Cauliflower Vichyssoise comes to mind.

Low Carb Bacon Wrapped Shrimp

Low Carb Bacon Wrapped ShrimpBacon Wrapped Shrimp

Low Carb Bacon Wrapped Shrimp. When buying shrimp you want to shop the count per pound NOT Small, Medium, Large, or Jumbo.  These terms mean absolutely nothing.  To see more regarding the sizing of shrimp please see SHRIMP under the Food Lagniappes page.

I try to buy U15’s (under 15 per pound) but 16-20 is a pretty good size shrimp for this recipe.

These are terrific dipped in Bleu Cheese Dressing, Remoulade Sauce, or Smoky Sweet & Sour Dipping Sauce as seen above.

Bacon Wrapped Shrimp
Print
Ingredients
  1. 24 Large (12-15) Shelled & Deveined Shrimp/Tail On
  2. 12 Bacon Slices Cut In Half
Directions
  1. This is a Japanese trick and keeps the shrimp from curling. There is a long extremely well developed muscle running the length of the underbelly of a shrimp where the legs are attached and this muscle needs to be severed at each segment.
  2. With sharp pointed scissors cut the underbelly of each shrimp segment about ¼” and if you don’t have scissors, turn the shrimp upside down and with a sharp knife gently cut each segment.
  3. Lay bacon on cutting board vertically and place shrimp at a 45 degree angle. Wrap bacon in a spiral around each shrimp and secure with a toothpick at top.
  4. Heat oil on medium high until very hot and lay shrimp in-frying until bacon is finished. Don’t overcook as bacon will be hard and tough.
  5. Drain and serve with celery sticks and Bleu Cheese Dressing or Remoulade Sauce.

Keto Crabmeat St Francis

Leave a reply

Keto Crabmeat St FrancisKeto Crabmeat St FrancisKeto Crabmeat St Francis. This is my variation of a very famous New Orleans dish by famed Chef Warren Leruth.  I was first introduced to this dish while working at Beggar’s Banquet in E. Lansing, Michigan in 1974.  One of the four owners had worked for Chef Leruth and we served it as an appetizer. It can certainly be served as a dinner which the recipe is written for. With a big ole salad-dinner done.  Oh, what heady days those were.

Warren Leruth is now dead, and I don’t know where Martin Richard (pronounced Ri Chard) is, but Beggar’s Banquet?  It is still there at the main entrance to Michigan State University on Abbott Rd. serving great food after opening 40 years ago and you…are now able to have keto crabmeat St Francis anytime you want.  If you’re interested in a trip down memory lane here is a small article with lots of pictures about Beggar’s Banquet. and yeah, we all looked like those hippies in the pictures. Here is another article with a picture of the original menu. Martin was an incredible artist.

Notes
  1. Very good served over mashed buttered cauliflower or spinach.
  2. If crabmeat is too expensive where you live then you could easily substitute finely chopped shrimp, langostinos, chopped clams or a combination of some kind. And as I think about it you might even try imitation crab meat but beware: it is just very starchy and high carb which kinda defeats the whole purpose of this website.

Gads, I tried and tried to make this keto poppy seed dressing with the original oil version but because I wasn’t using sugar I could not keep everything in suspension.  It tasted just like the original but it kept separating and you would have to shake it.  I have to say though, that this keto creamy poppy seed dressing version of the famous poppy seed dressing is pretty tasty stuff and nearly identical to it’s original sister. The salad shown is with strawberries, bacon and tomato.
