    Dry shrimp is keto-friendly. There are zero carbs in all varieties of shrimp, which is perfect for the ketogenic diet. Shrimp is also a great source of selenium, B12, omega 3 fats, and many other nutrients such as iodine.

    Below are some recipes that use dry shrimp. I offer suggestions on how to make it keto if there is an ingredient listed that's not keto-friendly. Under the recipes, there are a few questions with answers that you may be wondering about.

    Keto Saute Dried Shrimps

    Priya’s saute dried shrimp recipe. This recipe is already keto-friendly so there is no need for any substitutions.

    Sauteed Dried Shrimp

    This shrimp recipe uses sugar which can be replaced with erythritol. There is also rice syrup, which can be replaced with keto-friendly maple syrup. The Keto syrup I like best is from Lakanto. To substitute the cooking sake use 1 tsp of rice wine vinegar and 2 tsp of water. (source) To make it even healthier, instead of using vegetable oil, use coconut oil or olive oil.

    Dry Shrimp Curry

    This curry recipe uses tamarind juice which is loaded with sugar. However, you could just a vegetable stock and add some keto brown sugar to make it sweet. I understand that the dish will not be the same, but this is just an option.
