This Low Carb Artichoke Crap Dip recipe HAD to happen because I am a HUGE seafood lover!
I have told the Mr, on numerous occasions, that I could easily become a pescatarian if I needed to. I got the "look" from him when I said that.
The look that says "You will take my beef from me when you pry it out of my cold dead fingers" look.
Yes, I love my beef, but he loooooooooves his beef! If we don't have been, in some form, every week he gets all cranky pants on me.
But, I can tell you he never complains when I whip this recipe out.
One of the questions I get from a lot of readers is "Is seafood (crab, shrimp, etc) OK for the keto diet?"/
My answer is a resounding YES!
I can tell you that there is no diet in the world I could stick to if I couldn't have seafood!! Shellfish are great proteins for a low carb lifestyle. They are high in protein with minimal carbs.
Some of the good things that shellfish has to offer are:
- Crab: Crab meat is a great source of B12 and folate. In addition, it is high in minerals such as zinc, phosphorus, calcium, as well as potassium. One cup of crabmeat has 105 calories, 0.9 grams of fat, 23 grams of protein, and 0 grams of carbohydrates.
- Shrimp: Shrimp is rich in B vitamins, Selenium and Zinc, it is also high in protein. One cup of shrimp meat has 173 calories, 2.5 grams of fat, 33 grams of protein, and 2.2 carbohydrates.
- Lobster: When it comes to minerals, lobster contains both copper and selenium, as well as phosphorus, vitamin B12, zinc, magnesium, and vitamin E. It also contains small amounts of omega-3 fatty acids. One cup of lobster meat contains 129 calories, 1.25 grams of fat, 27.55 grams of protein, and 0 grams of carbohydrates.
So I am always happy to add a shellfish recipe to the menu.
I am currently addicted to Cajun Shrimp Ceasar Salad!
I season up some shrimp with my Cajun Seasoning Blend, give them a quick cook, a couple of minutes on each side in a medium-high heat skillet, and toss them into some chopped romaine with keto Ceasar dressing, Parmesan cheese, and some Parmesan crisps in place of croutons.
HEAVEN!!

FAQ about Low Carb Artichoke Crab Dip
No, imitation crab is highly processed, has sugar and additives that aren't keto-friendly, and will not make your dip taste as fresh.
I have not tried it but would assume that it would work well in this recipe. I would just chop the shrimp into bite-sized pieces and add it in place of the lump crab meat.
I would be amazed if you have leftovers but, in the case that you do, store the leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 or 3 days. I would not recommend freezing this dip due to the high amount of dairy in it. It would probably have a grainy texture upon reheating.

Needs the amount of Greek yogurt added to the ingredient list. Sounds yummy!

Oh, it is sour cream, not Greek yogurt. That is in the recipe. Thank you for pointing that out to me!
