INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTIONS:
SHRIMP:
- We use shrimp, as it will give fewer carbs and a higher-protein content to this million-dollar dip. As an alternative, you can use chopped lobster, cooked chicken chunks, or canned tuna.
CRAB MEAT:
- You can use crab meat, which will provide a sweet taste and delicate texture. As a replacement, we can use diced firm white fish, real canned crab, or chopped shrimp.
CREAM CHEESE:
- Use cream cheese, as it will deliver a silky foundation and rich texture. We can switch it out with mascarpone cheese, ricotta, or vegan cream cheese.
MAYONNAISE:
- We have to utilize mayonnaise, which will give nutritious fats and a smooth texture. You can swap it with Greek yogurt, homemade keto mayo, or sour cream.
SOUR CREAM:
- Utilize the sour cream to provide a silky texture and tarty flavor to this million-dollar dip. Heavy cream or high-fat Greek yogurt can be used instead.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Warm the empty oven to 180°Celcius.
- We heat the butter in a pan on a slow flame.
- Cook the shrimp till it gets pink, for about three minutes, and put them aside.
- Mix the sour cream, cream cheese, and mayonnaise together in a bowl until smooth.
- Stir in the mustard, garlic, paprika, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Mix in the mozzarella, cooked shrimp, half of the Parmesan cheese, or crab meat.
- Put the mixture in a coated dish and distribute it equally.

TIPS:
