Keto Louis Salad

Keto Louis SaladKeto Louis Salad. There are lots of things to be said of Keto Louis Salad and first, we should talk about the spelling of the name of this danged delicious salad. It can be spelled Louis or Louie but no matter how you spell it or where you see it on a menu, you will recognize what it is and Keto Louis Salad is as good as it is simple and delicious. I have always spelled it as Louis so that is the name of my salad.  I have left it as traditional and simple with only seafood, tomatoes and hard boiled eggs but many people and restaurants add asparagus and many other ingredients. My personal opinion: That’s called a Chef’s Salad where just about anything goes including a dressing of your choice. This is a specific salad & dressing and again in my opinion, should be made as such. Keto Louis Salad can be made with either bay shrimp or pulled crab and I made it using both.

Now in theory, the salad is to made with the dressing going down over everything but the seafood with tons of freshly ground pepper and then with the seafood kind of as the crowning glory, but for visual purposes I put the dressing to the side so I could get a better picture and don’t forget tons of freshly cracked pepper.

I don’t know if a Shrimp or Crab Louis Salad is truly the “king” of salads but it has to stand as right up there at the top. The dressing is fabulous on a Rueben sandwich (if you can eat one) and no, Louis Dressing is NOT 1,000 Island Dressing. Other large salads to be eaten as dinner might be Caesar SaladBacon Broccoli SaladVietnamese Shrimp BowlSteak Salad,  and the famous Cobb Salad.

I do not use much iceberg lettuce (I think maybe 2-3 recipes on the site) but there are times when it is the only lettuce you can use. If prepped properly it is about the crispiest lettuce that I know of and the directions are below for exactly how to do it. I don’t always advocate chopping lettuce with a knife because it causes the lettuce to “rust” quickly (it is better torn) but in this case it will be used relatively quickly so for convenience I do use a knife.  The technique works with Romaine as well.

Keto Cajun Shrimp Peppers & Grits

Keto Cajun Shrimp Peppers & GritsKeto Cajun Shrimp Peppers & GritsKeto Cajun Shrimp Peppers & GritsKeto Cajun Shrimp Peppers & Grits. This recipe originally came from Tillies Restaurant in Short Hills, NJ and sadly, it is now permanently closed. If you are interested in watching the video of how this is made you can see it here. I don’t really even have much to say about this recipe except that it is beyond good and I will let the dish speak for itself.

Of course I did need to change the grits to Cauliflower Grits but otherwise keto Cajun shrimp peppers & grits is as close to the original as possible. Now I’m supposing here, and if you can’t get shishito or padron peppers, then jalapeno peppers would work. I do have access to shishitos and it is what I used but please don’t not make this because you can’t find the right peppers. The biggest difference is that shishitos and padrons are just not quite as spicy as jalapenos.

You will need to used cauliflower grits here and they couldn’t be much easier to make. I do several heads at a time, portion them into ½ cup servings, freeze them and that way I can have them ready when I want them. One head of cauliflower will make fours servings for the recipe.

Keto Pork Tenderloin

Keto Pork TenderloinKeto Pork Tenderloin. So, I have been working on a few Covid-19 stay at home recipes for two to three people and this keto pork tenderloin is another one. Others include a Cheese Pizza For Two and Beef Tataki. All are very easy to make, absolutely fabulous to eat and may get you some attention. I love, love, love pork tenderloin, I easily eat it every two-three weeks and am always looking for different ways to fix it with different sauces to enhance it. Keto pork tenderloin is a winner, winner porky dinner. I fixed some whole roasted-in-olive oil cloves of garlic for another new recipe coming soon so I used it to garnish for the picture but I used garlic paste in the recipe which is a heck of a lot easier and fewer carbs. If you love garlic, the whole cloves atop the dish is a pretty stunning presentation and  you are left with some lovely garlic-infused oil to use at some later date.

Maybe the best reason to make this, if you do it right is that the pork can be made in a skillet with no oven use and yes, I’m betting it would be good done on the grill too.

Pork Tenderloin
Print
Ingredients
  1. 1 Pork Tenderloin (about 1-1¼ Lbs.)
  2. 2 T Olive Oil (Or Butter Separated)
  3. ¼ C Minced Onions (Or Shallots)
  4. 1 T Garlic Paste***
  5. 2-3 T Coarsely Ground Black Pepper (Fresh Is Always Better)
  6. 2 T Red Wine
  7. 2 t Beef Base Or To Taste (Yes, Chicken Base Will Work As Well)
  8. ½ C Heavy Cream
  9. Parsley To Garnish
Instructions
  1. Heavily coat all sides of your pork tenderloin with pepper and bring to room temperature.
  2. In small skillet on medium-low heat, melt 1 T fat, add onion and cook until translucent.
  3. Add wine and slowly reduce until about ½ T remains and it won’t take long.
  4. Add beef base, garlic & heavy cream and slowly reduce to desired consistency.
  5. On medium heat and in a larger skillet melt last T of fat. Add tenderloin and cook about 4-5 minutes, then turn and cook another 4-5 minutes.
  6. Turn onto each side and cook an additional 1-2 minutes. The idea is to not overcook the meat and when sliced, it should have a very distinct pink color in the center. There is nothing as bad as an overcooked pork tenderloin.
  7. Slice on the diagonal, plate, and get ready for some good eats.
  8. Dab on sauce and garnish with parsley.

Notes
  1. I like my pork tenderloin quite pink in the center which keeps it fall-apart-tender to cut. If you like yours completely grey inside then do it a minute or so longer on each side.
  2. If your tenderloin is very large you can always butterfly and flatten it. As you can see from my pic, mine are small, come to me butchered as seen, and do not need butterflying.

Low Carb Cheese Pizza

Low Carb Cheese PizzaLow Carb Cheese PizzaLow Carb Cheese Pizza. I have wanted to do a low carb cheese pizza for a while and today was the day. It will easily feed three adults and if you have children, cut it into eight wedges instead six, it will feed them as well. I have given the nutritionals for 3 ways to combine pieces.

This is a thin crust pizza and yes, it gets crispy enough to pick it up by the piece. I have shown a pic of the bottom which gets even a bit crispier when put back into the oven to finish melting the cheese. If truth be told I like my cheese a little runnier than shown but I have to say it sure looks pretty in the picture and it was crispy good.

 So I, like most everyone else, am sort of stuck at home with this crummy Covid-19 stuff. Not because I wouldn’t go out when I want to, but because there are not many places left to go except to the grocery store and I am only doing that every 8-9 days. It used to be weekly on Wednesday because of senior day at two of the places I go but they have extended senior day to everyday and I really didn’t always need to go on Wednesday.

Low carb cheese pizza is another Covid-19 dinner and I hope you enjoy it. This is the recipe for the dry Italian Herbs that I use but any herb mixture you like will work just fine.

Keto Shrimp De Jonghe

Keto Shrimp De Jonghe

Keto Shrimp De JongheKeto Shrimp De JongheKeto Shrimp De Jonghe.  According to record this is a famous dish coming from…Chicago and I’m not sure I care where it came from, but it is truly quite divine. The original recipe was made with tons of butter and bread crumbs and about the only thing I have changed is the breadcrumbs. A cook always mixes and matches spices to their own liking, this is mine, and danged good if I do say so myself.

The idea is that the shrimp be swimming in a buttery breadcrumbed, herby pool of fatty unctuousness and this keto shrimp De Jonghe is all that. Now, do pork rinds taste like bread crumbs? No certainly not, but man, they do make a fabulous stand-in. I had half a mind to try it with Carbalose Bread Crumbs and I’m glad I didn’t as the dish is absolutely perfect the way I tested and then wrote it.

So here we go. Keto shrimp De Jonghe. It’s very easy to make and quite a satisfying keto meal.

  3. Peel shrimp, including the tail, and lay closely together in a baking dish. With a spoon, dollop butter mixture over all shrimp and spread to cover.

  5. 4 Servings As Dinner
  6. 606 Calories, 44.0g Protein, 42.8g Fat, 4.0g Carbs, 0.0g Fiber, 4.0g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. Dish is probably best eaten with a knife and a spoon otherwise you are defeating the sauce completely. As you can see I first did mine in an individual casserole dish that contained the buttery mixture perfectly and if you don't have these I would suggest serving in a bowl. (3rd Pic)
  2. I was a little worried that the sauce would not stay in the dish while baking…It was close.
  3. This would probably be very good served over spaghetti squash and in my bowl, I put it over cauliflower grits with green beans.
  4. Can be served at a dinner party as an appetizer for 8.

Keto Beef Tataki

Keto Beef TatakiKeto Beef TatakiKeto Beef Tataki. I often scour the internet for recipes I have never tried and keto beef tataki is one of those dishes, it sounded terrific, I had all the ingredients on hand, so I decided to try it. OMG it is unbelievable and seriously, not difficult to make at all assuming you have a mandoline for paper thin slicing of the vegetables. The beef is flash sauteéd, cooled, marinated for four hours, and then thinly sliced cold by hand.

The original recipe was kind of a sexy dinner for two people, I left it at that and it could also be used as an appetizer for six. I doubt you would be interested in fixing this as a family dinner, but it can easily be doubled for a dinner party of four to six. I am telling you THIS. IS. GOOD. And despite the list of ingredients it is relatively very, easy. The only thing I changed is the use of honey and the small amount is not needed with the use of an alternative sweetener.

I am writing this recipe in the middle of the Covid19 Pandemic so, if you either have the ingredients or access to them, keto beef tataki is a really nice dinner to fix for someone special that you are cooped up with during this God awful mess we have and are still in.

If by any chance you cut your own whole tenderloin there is a hunk of meat called the wing muscle, it’s usually about a pound, is perfect for this dish, and what I used which I then sliced in half lengthwise to get the second picture up-top.

If you don’t eat with chop sticks (and you should at least try) then this is also a great plate to eat like an animal…very slowly…with your fingers.

Keto Lemon Parmesan Dip

Keto Lemon Parmesan DipKeto Lemon Parmesan DipKeto Lemon Parmesan Dip can be used equally as a dip or a killer salad dressing. Keto lemon Parmesan dip takes about 5 minutes to make and about four hours to “marry” the flavors in the fridge. I use it as a dip with low carb crudité veggies and yes, even as a salad dressing with the addition of olive oil and a bit of water to thin it . I guarantee it will not last in your refrigerator any longer that it will take you to use it. Try it on a sautéed chicken thigh~it’s to die for. With my own fried in lard pork pellets, Oh Yeah.

Keto Horseradish Dill Cream

Keto Horseradish Dill CreamKeto Horseradish Dill CreamKeto Horseradish Dill CreamKeto Horseradish Dill CreamKeto Horseradish Dill Cream. This keto horseradish dill cream is about as easy a recipe to make as I can think of and takes about 5 minutes at most. It is fabulous on fish of any kind and especially with lox or smoked salmon. It is quite piquant and does not take much to get a whole bunch of flavor. I also use it as a dip for chicken skins, shishito peppers, cucumber coins or anything else you use traditional crudité veggies for. It is just a winner all around if you like horseradish. Also fabulous on a salad as dressing and of course again, with any fish.

Low Carb Shrimp & Green Beans

Keto Shrimp & Green BeansLow Carb Shrimp & Green BeansLow Carb Shrimp & Green Beans. I consider this low carb shrimp & green beans dish to be Middle Eastern because it has so many Middle Eastern elements in it like um…pretty much everything. It is put together very easily assuming you have Cauliflower Grits in your freezer, which I always do. In fact, when I am down to a couple of servings I get a couple more heads and make more. They freeze beautifully and can be defrosted quickly to be used in so many ways like Grillades Over Cheesy Grits,  Cajun Shrimp & Grits,  Tater TotsPolenta Cakes,  Shrimp Étouffée  and Shrimp & Grits to name a few.
