Low Carb Paleo/Primal Recipes

I have been thinking for a while now about the fact that many of my recipes are very nearly Paleo which can then sometimes make them Primal so I have decided to list some of them here. Many people who follow a Paleo lifestyle eat some dairy, some are 80/20, and some even use lowcarb sweeteners especially, if diabetic.

For most, Paleo is a lifestyle and not necessarily to be followed by someone else’s exacting dogma.

Some recipes have a bit of sour cream, some use Just Like Sugar©, some have Sucralose©, some use combinations and it is easy to substitute one sweetener for another if you don’t like what I use. One of the things I have found to be true for myself is that using several different sweeteners give a better depth of flavor. This way, if you want to expand your Paleo recipe repertoire you can use these and make changes as you wish.

Jane Barthelemy author of Paleo Desserts says Just Like Sugar© is her favorite lowcarb sweetener, uses it extensively in her book recipes, and believes the health effects are unique among sweeteners as a pre-biotic (inulin) that promotes healthy intestinal flora and I totally agree with her and to read her entire take on Just Like Sugar© please see further here: http://janeshealthykitchen.com/my-trip-to-the-just-like-sugar-factory/#.U9amo6PQq1g

So…this is just an experiment and I would love for you to make Comments on any particular recipe, whether you liked it…or not…and why. If heavy cream, cheeses, and some alternative sweeteners are in your list of “sometime eats” then these recipes can be eaten “sometimes”. As a diabetic, I would not have much left to eat if it were not for “sometime” foods.

Keto Louis Salad

2 Replies

Keto 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 Salad, Bacon Broccoli Salad, Vietnamese Shrimp Bowl, Steak 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.

As I am a Type II diabetic, all recipes on this website are Keto~Low Carb and Diabetic Friendly.

Louis Salad

2020-05-29 11:17:27

Ingredients

½ C Mayonnaise
2 T Olive Oil
2 T Chili Sauce
2 T Sugar Free Ketchup
2 T Fresh Lemon Juice
2 T Finely Sliced Green Onion Tops
1 t Worcestershire Sauce
½ t Dijon Mustard
¼ t Onion Powder
¼ t Garlic Powder
8 C Crisp & Cold Chopped Iceberg Lettuce
1½ C Tomato Small Dice
4 Chopped Hard Boiled Eggs
1 Lb Bay Shrimp, Crab, Or Combo
Lemon Wedges (Garnish)
Freshly Cracked Pepper

Instructions

DRESSING
Mix all ingredients well, put in a 1 cup jar, and refrigerate.
SALAD GREENS
Take off the outer leaves of the head (if badly wilted) and core it. Cut in half and then cut to desires piece sizes-optimally about 1”. Put into sink of cold water and swish it around. Drain the sink, shake off the excess water, put is a bowl, cover with film, and put in the fridge for at least an hour. This will be the crispiest lettuce ever and it works very well for most lettuce and no, you do not need ice. That crispy lettuce you get in a restaurant? Well, that’s how they do it-by the tubful.
ASSEMBLY
Put down lettuce, top with egg, then tomatoes, then sauce, then cracked pepper, and lastly sprinkle on the shrimp. Serve with a side wedge of lemon.

Keto Cajun Shrimp Peppers & Grits

Leave a reply

Keto 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.

Shrimp Peppers & Grits

2020-05-20 11:37:13

Shrimp

1-1¼ Lbs Peeled Shrimp

2 Cups Cauliflower Grits-Best (Or 2 Cups Mashed Cauliflower)
1½ t Dried Thyme
½ t Salt
⅓ C Heavy Cream
4 T Butter

Shrimp

Add brandy, sherry, & Worcestershire sauce to deglaze pan.
Add back shrimp to heat while also adding last 2 T butter to thicken sauce.

Notes

Nutritionals include grits.
Many of the carbs come from the garlic cloves (about 1 per clove) so if you want fewer carbs use fewer garlic cloves.
You are not going to get much garlic flavor until…you bite into one of those roasted cloves and then…it will dissolve...explode in your mouth and...wow, what a treat.

Keto Pork Tenderloin

Leave a reply

Keto 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.

As I am a Type II diabetic, all recipes on this website are keto or lowcarb and diabetic friendly.

Pork Tenderloin

2020-05-17 12:08:31

Ingredients

1 Pork Tenderloin (about 1-1¼ Lbs.)
2 T Olive Oil (Or Butter Separated)
¼ C Minced Onions (Or Shallots)
1 T Garlic Paste***
2-3 T Coarsely Ground Black Pepper (Fresh Is Always Better)
2 T Red Wine
2 t Beef Base Or To Taste (Yes, Chicken Base Will Work As Well)
½ C Heavy Cream
Parsley To Garnish

Instructions

Heavily coat all sides of your pork tenderloin with pepper and bring to room temperature.
In small skillet on medium-low heat, melt 1 T fat, add onion and cook until translucent.
Add wine and slowly reduce until about ½ T remains and it won’t take long.
Add beef base, garlic & heavy cream and slowly reduce to desired consistency.
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.
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.
Slice on the diagonal, plate, and get ready for some good eats.
Dab on sauce and garnish with parsley.

Notes

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.
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

Leave a reply

Low 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

Leave a reply

Keto 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.

As I am a Type II diabetic, all recipes on this website are keto-low carb and diabetic friendly.

Shrimp De Jonghe

2020-04-23 13:29:42

Ingredients

1¼-1½ Lbs Peeled Raw Shrimp
12 T Soft Butter (1½ Sticks)
1 C Pork Rind Dust***
1 Small Minced Shallot
1½ T Garlic Paste***
½ C Sherry
1 T Dried Parsley
1 T Dried Chives
1½ t Dried Thyme
1 t Salt
¼ t Cayenne Pepper
¼ t Paprika

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°.
Add all ingredients except shrimp into a food processor and process into a paste.
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.
Bake about 18-20 minutes until bubbly around edges.
4 Servings As Dinner
606 Calories, 44.0g Protein, 42.8g Fat, 4.0g Carbs, 0.0g Fiber, 4.0g Net Carbs

Notes

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)
I was a little worried that the sauce would not stay in the dish while baking…It was close.
This would probably be very good served over spaghetti squash and in my bowl, I put it over cauliflower grits with green beans.
Can be served at a dinner party as an appetizer for 8.

Keto Beef Tataki

Leave a reply

Keto 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.

Beef Tataki

2020-04-12 10:33:43

1 Lb Beef Tenderloin (Smaller Tail End if You Can Get It)
1 t Sesame Seeds (Optional-As You Can See I Tried It-Don’t Bother)

Marinade

2 T Tamari
2 T Sugar-Free Rice Wine Vinegar
2 T Lemon Juice
1 T Allulose (Or Sweetener Of Choice)
2 T Minced Green Onion Tops
1 t Fish Sauce
1 t Dried Chili Flakes
¼ t Dried Thyme (Crushed If You Have It)

Salad

1 Persian Cucumber Sliced Paper Thin
2 Radishes Sliced Paper Thin (I Used About 3” Of Daikon Radish)
1 Shallot Sliced Paper Thin

Salad Vinaigrette

1 T Olive Oil
1 t Sugar-Free Rice Wine Vinegar
1 t Tamari
1 t Allulose*** (Or Sweetener Of Choice)

¼ t Pepper

Garnish

1½ T Olive Oil
Salt
Freshly Ground Pepper
2 t Fresh Thyme Leaves (Yes, More And Optional)

Instructions

Heat sauté pan to hot. Cut tenderloin in half lengthwise, and quickly sear all sides of tenderloin or steak. (You want it rare). Set out to cool and it won’t take long.
Mix all marinade ingredients, put into a sealable plastic bag, and when steak is cool put into the bag and refrigerate 4-5 hours. SAVE THE MARINADE.
Slice daikon radish, rinse under cold water, put into small bowl, salt generously, and add cold water to just cover. (This will soften the radish).
Make vinaigrette, slice shallot and put into vinaigrette. (This will soften shallots).
Slice cucumber, put into bowl, (no water) and very lightly salt. (This will soften cucumber).
When ready slice meat as thinly as possible and arrange on plate.
Drain radish well, add to cucumber, mix and arrange on plate.
Place shallots on top of salad, then spoon dressing over all.
Put remaining marinade in small dipping bowl and put in the center.
Drizzle meat with olive oil, lightly salt, then sprinkle with thyme leaves.

Keto Lemon Parmesan Dip

Leave a reply

Keto 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 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.

Notes

To make this into a salad dressing, (it's thick) add buttermilk to desired consistency.
As I get more pics of this horseradish cream with other foods I will add them.
Any and all ingredients can be increased or decreased to your own taste. I have just presented what I think is a good balance for all tastes.

Low Carb Shrimp & Green Beans

Leave a reply

Low 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 Tots, Polenta Cakes, Shrimp Étouffée and Shrimp & Grits to name a few.

Low Carb Shrimp Toast

Leave a reply

Low Carb Shrimp Toast. So, I have been watching this series on NetFlix called The Chef’s Show and one of the many recipes that has been done was simply called Shrimp Toast. I’m thinking that not only did it seem easy, but something very, very tasty so…I thought I’d give it a try. I already had all the ingredients that were called for and this is my result. If you ever do watch it, you’ll see that mine is not too much different except for gochujang. Koreans use gochujang for just about everything and I don’t have any, let alone would I use it. It is very sugary and hot so if you want a spicier or sweeter keto shrimp toast then you could use a hot sauce and a bit of sugarfree sweetener of some kind. Now, if you do not make Carbalose Bread, or some version of low carb bread you will have to punt on that ingredient and perhaps serve it in a bowl but I did use it and the low carb shrimp toast that resulted was divine. The idea of the bread is to soak up all those heavenly juices and yes, it does do that. I think using Cauliflower Grits, which I used the following night, would be the best food option under your shrimp. I make and freeze cauliflower grits so I can use them when wanted.

The original recipe used head-on prawns and I’m thinking you may not be interested in that so yes, I did use peeled shrimp. It of course looked kinda messy and if you like that messy stuff then by all means get head-on shrimp.
