Pinterest image for keto sweet and sour shrimp that says takeout at home

This post may contain affiliate links to products I use and highly recommend. You can read my full disclosure .

Chinese food is such a delicious treat, but it usually contains lots of sugar (and carbs). This Keto Sweet and Sour Shrimp is one of my favorite remakes! It uses my low-carb sweet and sour sauce with shrimp and vegetables for an easy low-carb meal.

For this post, I’m teaming up with my friends over at Choczero! I’m super excited to be an Ambassador for them this year!Keto Sweet and Sour Shrimp in a bowl next to ChocZero Sugar Free Syrup

Making Chinese Take-Out at Home

If you love Chinese take-out as much as I do, you should know that making it at home is just as easy as picking up the phone to order it.

Plus, considering that the low-carb options are things like steamed vegetables and proteins without any rice or sauce, making it at home is much more satisfying and flavorful. 

This Keto Sweet & Sour recipe uses some of my favorite tips for making keto Chinese take-out at home. 

Ingredients

This dish is simple to make and can be customized to fit your preferences. Here’s the basic list:

  • Olive oil
  • Bell Pepper
  • Yellow onion
  • Minced Garlic
  • Soy sauce or Coconut Aminos
  • Keto Sweet & Sour Sauce
  • Shrimp

Shrimp: To Bread or Not

Usually, when I make this, I tend to throw in the shrimp as is because the shrimp do not need breading.

However, if you would like to bread your shrimp, you can use the same breading from my Bang Bang Shrimp recipe.

Substitutions & Variations

Even though I’m using shrimp, you can use one pound of any protein for this recipe. Some options include:

  • Chicken breasts
  • Meatballs
  • Meat alternatives

Since shrimp cooks quickly, if you opt to trade it out, just be sure to give the other proteins enough time to cook through.

Besides adjusting the protein, you can also add any pepper or vegetables that you choose. We like our food extra spicy, so we’ve added habaneros and jalapenos in addition to the bell peppers. I’ve also used a mix of multi-colored peppers to give it a more colorful look. 

What to Enjoy This With

My favorite way to eat Keto Sweet and Sour Shrimp is with keto cauliflower fried rice. But, you can also pair this with a range of sauteed or steamed vegetables. For example, you might try:

  • Air Fryer Green Beans
  • Cilantro-Lime Cauliflower Rice
  • Sauteed Bok-Choy
  • Air Fryer or Steamed Brocolli
