Tips And Tricks
Instant Pot Turkey Chili is absolutely delightful exactly as it is, but if you’re wanting to switch things up a bit when you make it a second (or third, or fourth…) time, here are some ways to add a little variety to the recipe:
- Add more veggies. I added corn and onion to this recipe to provide additional texture. If you’re craving more veggies, try adding zucchini, bell peppers, or even carrots. To prevent them from overcooking, add them in the last 10 minutes after the cooking time is complete so they cook with residual heat.
- Pack it full of protein. Double up the amount of ground turkey you use in the recipe for a heartier bite.
- Make it low carb. Craving all of the tasty flavors of Turkey Chili without all of the carbs? Simply omit the beans in the recipe and reduce the cooking time to 15 minutes. Fewer carbs and less time in the Pot before you dig in. Could it get any better?
How Long Does It Last?
Chili is one of my favorite meals to make in the fall and winter because it is filling, comforting, and it reheats like a dream.
If stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, you should expect your Instant Pot Turkey Chili to last up to 5 days.
What To Serve With Instant Pot Turkey Chili
Anything you would want to serve with a traditional Texas style chili or vegetarian chili would also be tasty with this Instant Pot Turkey Chili.
These are some of my favorite things to serve alongside my chili:
- Sour Cream
- Avocado
- Tortilla Chips
- Corn Chips
- Cornbread

This Creamy Spicy Keto Shrimp Recipe is a delicious yet SUPER simple dish that’s low carb and high in protein! The recipe is only 4 ingredients and takes only 15 minutes to make!
Why You’re Going To Love This Creamy Spicy Shrimp
- Fast. Have a filling dinner on the table in under 30 minutes .
- Easy. Create the sauce, toss in the shrimp, cook, and serve. A simple pour and cook recipe that is perfect for busy weeknights.
- Few Ingredients. Who doesn’t love a dish that has less than 5 ingredients?
- Low Carb . Only one carbohydrate per serving!
- Delicious. Perfectly spicy and creamy with a lovely pop of texture from the shrimp will have the whole family raving.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Pre-cooked or raw shrimp with tails on - You’ll want to make sure this is defrosted before getting started.
- Heavy Whipping Cream - This is the stuff that comes in dairy packages that resemble milk cartons, not Cool Whip.
- Cajun Seasoning - The flavor is best, and totally low carb if you make my version of Cajun Seasoning, but if you choose to use storebought, make sure you check the nutrition labels before getting started. They can be high in carbohydrates.
Is Shrimp OK For Keto?
Not only is shrimp ok on keto, but it’s also wonderful for staying within your carb limitations. Cooked shrimp contain about 0.2 carbs per serving, so you can easily indulge (just don’t overindulge) and still stay within your daily macros.
How To Make Keto Shrimp
Three ingredients and three steps. This is absolutely my kind of meal prep. Here are a few simple instructions to follow for an amazing seafood dinner:
- In a saucepan, mix the cajun seasoning and the water together to make a paste.
- Pour in the heavy whipping cream and cook gently until the paste is well mixed in and the sauce is creamy and thick. Don’t rush this, let the sauce get thick so that it will coat your tongue in spicy creamy goodness with every bite.
- Pour in your cooked or raw shrimp and let either heat through or cook through completely depending on the variety of frozen shrimp you decide to use.
Tips and Tricks
- Keep it simple. I can be terrible at following a recipe exactly, and I’m not alone. I promise you that even though this recipe only has three ingredients, it is still packed with flavor. Before you try adding anything else to it, try the recipe as written.
- Don’t overcook. If you’re new to cooking shrimp, trying to cook it perfectly can be difficult. If you’re unsure of your cooking abilities with seafood, I would suggest using precooked shrimp and simply warming it for this recipe so that it isn’t over or undercooked.
- Add the heavy cream slowly. To prevent curdling or separation in your sauce, add it slowly to the paste made from the cajun seasoning and water. You want a smooth and creamy sauce, not a chunky mess.
What To Serve With Spicy Shrimp
If you’re living a low carb lifestyle, you may have noticed that your appetite has decreased tremendously. For this reason, I generally do not serve anything alongside this keto shrimp dish.
If you’re still new to this way of eating or just have a heartier appetite, here are a few things you may enjoy with this Spicy Shrimp recipe:
- Air Fryer Asparagus
- Keto Broccoli Salad
- Air Fryer Cauliflower
- Low Carb Cheese Biscuits
How Long Does It Last?
Unlike some of my recipes, this one isn’t the best for meal prep. While you can easily reheat it and the flavor will still be incredibly delicious, the texture of the shrimp will change.
If you’re ok with the texture of your shrimp being a little less than perfect, you can store any leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
To reheat, just pop the keto shrimp and sauce in the microwave or a skillet for a few minutes until it is warmed through.
