Keto Grilled Shrimp Recipes

Grilled to perfection with tender shrimp marinated in a tangy lime cilantro sauce and served with a rich avocado dipping sauce!

I’ve been working on various marinades and grilled recipes recently, so I’m beyond thrilled that summer is finally here and it’s grilling season.

One of my all-time favorite recipes is this one for Keto Shrimp, and you will love it too!

Shrimp cooks quickly on the grill and is perfect for last-minute dinners because it only takes about 5 minutes for them to be finished.

I skewer and grill these large shrimp, then serve them with my Avocado Lime Cilantro Ranch Dressing as a dipping sauce, after marinating them in a lime cilantro marinade with garlic, olive oil, smoked paprika, and a little heat from cayenne pepper.

If you don’t like shrimp, you can substitute chicken for the shrimp and use the same marinade; I would recommend marinating the chicken for at least 1-2 hours. Lime and cilantro is one of my all-time favorite flavor combinations, and I use it frequently in my dishes.
