Paleo Shrimp Crack Slaw: Keto Friendly

Since I often share recommendations and tutorials, naturally my posts may contain affiliate links to the products I use and love. If you take action (make a purchase, for example) after clicking one of these links, I will earn a little coffee money, which I promise to drink while creating more helpful content for you.

Paleo Shrimp Crack Slaw is a keto friendly recipe that came together on one of those, “I need to clean out the fridge” nights.

You know what I am talking about, right? You are digging around, trying to make sense of what is happening in your fridge, and realize you’re going to need to get creative if anyone is going to eat that night. This is how paleo shrimp crack slaw was born.

I had some coleslaw mix that was on its “use by” date because I had forgotten about it when it was buried under the spinach and carrots the week before.

I hate throwing away produce, and thankfully I have become much more organized since this desperate evening. You can read my post about how I meal plan here.

I didn’t have any of the typical proteins I would serve with traditional coleslaw, and honestly didn’t feel like eating coleslaw either. So what the heck was I going to do with this coleslaw mix?

I had made an “Egg roll in a Bowl” recipe before using coleslaw mix and had seen several crack slaw recipes floating around, but I didn’t have any ground beef or pork on hand, so that was out.

I did have frozen shrimp on hand as well as a few other necessary ingredients though, so keto friendly, Paleo Shrimp Crack Slaw was born.

While the shrimp thawed I looked for a few of those recipes I had seen. They all called for soy sauce and sugar and didn’t seem to have enough ingredients to yield the flavor I was hoping to achieve, so I made some mental adaptations to “Paleo-fy”  (replacing sugar with stevia and soy sauce with coconut aminos) and went for it.

If Coconut Aminos are unfamiliar to you, it’s gluten and dairy free, non-GMO, low glycemic alternative to soy sauce. I was skeptical, but the change didn’t even take getting used to. It’s a tasty alternative to that beloved sauce.

Stevia is a Paleo approved sweetener, as it is derived from a nutritive, natural source. I also use pastes in place of fresh garlic and ginger.

Some balk at the idea of buying pre-chopped veggies, but I am not one of those people.

My hands hurt if I do too much chopping, though not as much now that I have started using my handy, dandy new rolling knife, but I am busy and usually running around like a chicken with my head cut off, so I use shortcuts regularly.

Herbs in paste form are of my biggest time savers. I use garlic, ginger, and basil pastes often. You can click on the pictures below to read more or purchase.

If you prefer fresh garlic and ginger, by all means, please use it in the same quantities. I am sure your Paleo Shrimp Crack Slaw will be even more delicious as a result.

  2. Serve with additional siracha for those who like it spicy.

Paleo Crack Slaw is on the rotation about every two weeks around here. It would be on more often, but because it has Siracha in it, which contains nightshades (peppers, tomatoes, and white potatoes are the most common) I only have it every once in a while.

I’m meal prepping for the week(anti-inflammatory I’m meal prepping for the week(anti-inflammatory of course) which includes baking a bunch of chicken breasts, steaming several heads of broccoli, and making a pot of brown rice.

Every two weeks I’ll make clean muffins or bread for breakfast to shake things up a bit. I usually have a protein shake or a few scrambled egg whites and a banana or a piece of Ezekiel 7 sprouted grain bread (gluten free) as toast for breakfast, but sometimes I crave a baked good. 

When I have a muffin (or two) or slice of bread, I add a couple of scrambled egg whites on the side to make sure I have enough protein. 

➡️I’ll link to the recipes for these banana chocolate ship muffins and banana apple bread in my stories. 

Do you meal prep on Sundays as well?

My rosacea is even behaving. 🤣

I did go back to an anti-inflammatory diet after indulging in all the things over the holidays, so it makes sense that I am feeling better. Feeling optimistic anyway. 

🎉I don’t want to jinx it, but what a great way to ring in 2022!

❤️19 years ago today, surrounded by family and ❤️19 years ago today, surrounded by family and friends in Cooperstown, NY (and a record snowfall outside), I married my best friend and soulmate. 

I love reflecting on that day and the many beautiful memories we’ve made since then.

Our photographer was the photographer from the National Baseball of Fame and he used several antique cameras to capture our special day.

Scroll through to see some of my favorite decor over here, like our trees selected specifically to highlight our collection of @crosbyandtaylor ornaments, our Christmas card board for all of our cards over the years on top and those we’ve received from others this year below, and a little something worth celebrating: our first homemade cannoli. Thank you, @preppykitchen for the guidance. We had fun with it. 

It has been a very hard week, which I will share more about later, but we tried to keep things as normal as possible for our kiddo. 

🕊Peace be you.
