A straightforward, low-carb seafood salad recipe using real ingredients, perfect for a quick, high-fat lunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound cooked shrimp, chilled and chopped
  • 8 ounces imitation crab meat (surimi), shredded (check carbs, or substitute with real crab meat for stricter keto)
  • 2 celery stalks, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely minced
  • 1/2 cup full-fat mayonnaise (ensure no added sugar)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped

Instructions

  1. Place the chopped shrimp and shredded crab meat into a medium bowl.
  2. Add the diced celery and minced red onion to the seafood mixture.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the full-fat mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth. This is your sugar free seafood dressing ideas base.
  4. Pour the dressing over the seafood and vegetables. Gently fold all ingredients together until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Stir in the fresh dill.
  6. Cover the bowl and chill the keto seafood salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to combine.
  7. Serve cold over lettuce cups or enjoy as a keto friendly crab salad spread.

Notes

  • For a higher fat content, mix in 1/4 of a mashed avocado with the mayonnaise dressing.
  • If you prefer a ketogenic tuna salad with avocado variation, substitute 1 can (5 ounces) of drained tuna for half of the shrimp.
  • This recipe is excellent for meal prep keto seafood; it keeps well for up to three days in the refrigerator.
