Easy Low Carb Shrimp Scampi from your instant pot or pressure cooker, this one cooks fast! Put it on top of some low carb noodles for a quick dinner.
Why I Love This Easy Shrimp Scampi Recipe
- Fast. Done in under 30 minutes . 15 to be exact.
- Easy. A simple pour and cook recipe .
- Low Carb . 6 net carbs per serving. Even less if you skip the low carb noodles.
- Protein Packed. Stay fuller longer with 17 grams of protein per serving.
- Yummy. Shrimp. Butter. Cheese. Pasta. Does it get any better than that?
What Kind Of Shrimp Should You Use?
Since this recipe is made easy in your Instant Pot , you will want to use frozen shrimp. If you use defrosted or fresh shrimp, it will likely overcook under pressure.
What Kind Of Pasta Should You Use?
For this recipe, I used a low carb pasta. I know that it isn’t the cheapest or easiest to find option. So if you’re cooking for family members that aren’t eating low carb, feel free to use linguine or angel hair.
Just remember that for every cup of pasta, you need to add 2 cups of liquid so it cooks thoroughly.
This is also delicious served over shirataki noodles . You’ll want to cook them separately if you go this route.
Low Carb Shrimp Scampi
I wanted to make something relatively high in protein and fat, low in carbs but also family friendly because I don’t feel like making something else for a son who is selective about what he eats.
This Instant Pot Shrimp Scampi went together quickly and definitely doesn’t need an Instant Pot, although that’s how I made mine.
When we eat this Low Carb Shrimp Scampi , my husband and I will eat very little of the pasta, and lots of sauce and shrimp. My son can enjoy all the pasta he wants and everyone can be happy. Nutritionally, this packs quite a hefty protein punch, which means hopefully I’ll stay full for longer.
Yes, you absolutely can. It’s actually one of the easiest dinner solutions when you’re eating low carb. It’s super low in carbs and very filling.
Butter. Ok, it’s more than just butter, but that’s what makes it so delicious. You will also want to add garlic, red pepper flakes, paprika, and a little chicken broth. This sauce is totally customizable, though. You can add a variety of other seasonings to make this your perfect low carb meal.
Though most people will traditionally thicken this sauce with a little cornstarch or flour, this isn’t a good low carb solution. I try to thicken my keto shrimp scampi with a little half and half or parmesan cheese.
How To Make This Instant Pot Shrimp Scampi Recipe
- Melt the butter in the Instant Pot or saucepan .
- Add in garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until the garlic is slightly browned 1-2 minutes.
- Add the paprika and then the frozen shrimp, salt, pepper, and noodles.
- Pour in the broth. If using broth, don’t add salt above.
- Cook under pressure for 2 minutes and use quick release .
- Turn the pot to Saute, add in half and half and cheese, and stir until melted.

Korean Style Kalbi? Why not Korean? Because I made up the marinade for funsies. So I was worried about how they’d turn out since I’ve always grilled mine. Ideally I should have gotten a thicker cut of ribs for this but I had what I had, and I’m actually hurting too much to stand up so I thought we’d try this.
Korean Style Kalbi | Korean Style Ribs
I don’t know what to call these apart from DELICIOUS! This Korean Style Kalbi wasn’t anything like Grilled Kalbi, but they were meltingly tender, soft, and sooo delicious. I asked my husband if I could lick the bowl, the sauce was that good.
And if you’re looking for more delicious rib recipes, you have got to try my Keto Air Fryer Chinese-Style Spareribs !

If you would rather just broil these, or use a different marinade, check out my Kalbi recipe here. The picture below shows how it looked when coiled into the pot.
Korean-Style Galbi Jjim
Ingredients
- ▢ 2 pounds ( 907.18 g ) Short Ribs , or Korean style flanken ribs
Sauce
- ▢ 1 tablespoon ( 1 tablespoon ) Gochujang
- ▢ 3 tablespoons ( 3 tablespoons ) Soy Sauce
- ▢ 1 tablespoon ( 1 tablespoon ) agave nectar
- ▢ 3-4 cloves ( 3 cloves ) Garlic , crushed
- ▢ 2 teaspoons ( 2 teaspoons ) Minced Ginger , crushed
- ▢ 1 tablespoon ( 1 tablespoon ) Sesame Oil
- ▢ 1 tablespoon ( 1 tablespoon ) mirin
- ▢ 1 packet ( 1 packet ) Splenda
- ▢ Kosher Salt , to taste
- ▢ Ground Black Pepper , to taste
- ▢ 1 tablespoon ( 1 tablespoon ) Cornstarch
- ▢ 2 tablespoons ( 2 tablespoons ) Water
Instructions
- Mix or blend together all the sauce ingredients except the cornstarch and water.
- Put the ribs into a gallon ziplock bag and pour the sauce on top.
- Marinate the ribs for at least an hour, no more than 24 hours, although I’ve cooked these without marinating and they worked out as well. You do get a deeper flavor with marinating.
- Pou in half a cup of water into your pressure cooker. Pour the marinade into the Instant Pot and use it as the liquid to help with the cooking.
- Arrange the ribs in a circle along the sides of the pot.
- Cook on High Pressure for 12 minutes, letting pressure release on it’s own.
- Once done, you can either broil them for a bit or just eat as is.
- If you don’t have a Instant Pot, you can just cook them on a grill or on the stovetop, or broil them in your oven at about 375F until done, but then you will have made Galbi, not Galbijjin. Equally delicious!
- Thicken with the cornstarch slurry (Corn starch and 2 tablespoon water mixed) with the Instant Pot on Sauté. Poor sauce over ribs and eat!
