Coconut Curry Shrimp (Keto)

As I was looking back on my old recipes to see if there is anything I can revive and make relevant for today (this coconut curry shrimp is scrumptious!!), I had this weird memory….

Back in 2011, right around the time my 2nd baby was born, I started a new recipe blog called ShrinkingChef.com. I shared on there Weight Watchers-friendly recipes. It was my last gasp attempt to lose weight on my own, because while I was recovering from my emergency c-section at 32 weeks gestation, my ob/gyn told me if ever I wanted to have another baby, I HAD to have a gastric bypass and get under 200 pounds.

I didn’t want a gastric bypass. I started Shrinking Chef thinking it would hold me accountable… and yet, I never could shake the excess weight. Finally after about a year, I said, “OK, I have to be honest with myself. I have tried and TRIED to lose weight on the ‘points’ system. I can’t do this on my own. I need medical intervention.”

Long story short, it was literally the best decision of my life.

Not only did it solve all of my health problems, I had the most amazing third pregnancy (a first for me), where I carried her to term, went into labor on my own, and got to experience giving birth. I honestly can’t think of a happier time in my life than the moment I met my first daughter.

And had I not had the surgery, I wouldn’t be here today, sharing with you my passion for helping other bariatric patients succeed after my years of research on a ketogenic approach and why it works so much better for us than what diet plans like Weight Watchers offers.

ANYWAY…

Coconut Curry Shrimp.

This was the original picture I took. Before I learned food photography, of course.

(Not that I’m much better at it today, haha…)

I recommended in that old post, you serve it with rice. 6 Weight Watchers Points.

Please don’t put it with rice.

I’m telling you today, 7 years later, when paired with zucchini noodles, this is BOMB!!! and much better for you.

An oldie for me, but a goodie nonetheless.
