When I was a teen and just starting to branch out with what I ordered at restaurants, I nearly always chose chicken and broccoli Alfredo. It felt so fancy to 13-year-old me.

Then we started making it at home, and I could enjoy it as often as I wanted. Our go-to recipe was a “cheater” Alfredo that required you to make a roux as the base, and used mostly milk.

But it wasn’t until recently that I discovered the more simple (and arguably more authentic) version of homemade Alfredo. It calls for just a few, high-quality ingredients, and is naturally gluten free and low carb. Perfect for if you’re following a KETO diet!

I’m super excited to be working with Kalona SuperNatural in the upcoming months. I’ve been using and loving their products for YEARS, and I’m more than happy to be sharing that love with all of you!

Here are the reasons I adore Kalona SuperNatural products:

  • Their milk/cream comes from organic, grass-fed cows on small farms. Grass-fed cows are healthier, and as a result, their milk is better for you!
  • They are one of the few companies that sell milk/cream that is both low-temperature pasteurized AND non-homogenized. Even most organic milk on the market is treated at a very high temperature that destroys the good bacteria in milk. At Kalona, the milk is gently pasteurized to kill off the bad bacteria, and help preserve the good bacteria. It’s basically the next best thing to raw milk.
  • It tastes fantastic. Period. My daughter had a glass of Kalona milk the other day, and exclaimed: “Mom, that is the SO creamiest milk ever.” It’s just good.

But let’s jump back to making this delicious KETO Shrimp and Asparagus Alfredo

KETO Shrimp and Asparagus Alfredo Ingredients:

The list of ingredients is short and uncomplicated: asparagus, shrimp, bacon, parmesan, butter, garlic, and whipping cream (of course!).

How to Make KETO Shrimp and Asparagus Alfredo

The process of making this Alfredo is very simple as well: Just cook up the shrimp and asparagus and remove to a plate. Then melt the butter in the empty pan, saute the garlic for a couple of minutes, and add the cream. Heat the cream until steamy hot and simmering, then stir in the Parmesan. Cook until thickened, add the shrimp and asparagus back to the pan, and sprinkle in the bacon!

Serve with extra Parmesan on top. Yum!

I served mine with zero-calorie konjac noodles, but you could do zucchini noodles, spaghetti squash, etc. Or, if you’re not on a KETO diet, this is pretty bomb on regular noodles as well.
