I've been really enjoying my rich, Creamy, indulgent dishes lately since getting back to a keto lifestyle and this dish is no exception. I first enjoyed this dish during the first covid lockdown, before I even knew what keto was, so don't worry, everyone will enjoy this!


The rich creaminess is cut through by the sharpness of the sun-dried tomatoes. The flavours of this dish will take you straight to Italy (or at least a really good Italian restaurant!).


I like to use scallops and prawns with this dish, but I do believe that the sauce would work equally well with most shellfish or even just served over a grilled chicken breast.

This delicious Creamy tuscan prawns and scallops dish will take you straight to Italy as soon as you taste it.

Goes great with pasta, such as linguine, or steamed greens if you're keeping it low carb.

A thick and creamy sauce is made up of cream, chicken stock, Parmesan cheese and mixed herbs.

Fresh Spinach is added u tip wilted, taking on the delicious flavours of the sauce.

The tanginess of sundried tomatoes really help to cut through the creaminess of this dish so it doesn't feel too heavy on the stomach.
