💡 Tips for the Perfect Keto Shrimp Cocktail

  • Use sugar-free ketchup or tomato paste + sweetener for zero added carbs.

  • For a creamier texture, add a spoonful of avocado mayo or olive oil.

  • If making ahead, add the avocado just before serving to avoid browning.

  • Serve it in margarita glasses or small bowls for an elegant, restaurant-style presentation.
