For the tomato sauce, I used Rao’s Arrabbiata.

Pairings:

We usually just eat a bowl of this Low Carb Shrimp recipe for dinner and pair it with a nice bottle of dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc.  If you are not watching your carbs, you will love dipping some Italian bread in the sauce.  This would also be great over pasta too.  If you want extra veggies, you can also pair it with a Simple Arugula Salad or steamed broccoli or you can add extra spinach to the sauce.  This would also pair well with my Roasted Lemon Garlic Parmesan Romanesco recipe.

Food Prep:

This recipe is quick and easy to make for a healthy weeknight meal since the amount of food prep is minimal.
