10 Healthy Low-Carb Seafood Recipes

When it comes to healthy low-carb recipes, seafood really is king. All fish and shellfish are high in protein, virtually carb-free, and either low-fat or filled with healthy omega 3 fatty acids. This is why I love seafood so much (plus it tastes amazing!) and why I have collected 10 of my favorite healthy low-carb seafood recipes for you today.

These recipes look very beautiful and elaborate but most of them are actually quite easy to make, so they are great for impressing your family and friends (or just for a delicious weeknight dinner).

As always when you cook with seafood, make sure to buy high-quality fresh ingredients, especially for the Ahi Tuna Poke where you eat the fish raw. It’s ok to buy the shrimp frozen, but the rest of the recipes should be made with fresh fish.

Enjoy, and let me know in the comments which healthy low-carb seafood recipe was your favorite!

Ahi Tuna Poke

Poke is a classic Hawaiian way of preparing raw fish with soy, sesame oil, and spices. It’s basically Hawaiian sushi. It’s one of the easiest fish dishes to make as you don’t have to cook anything. You just mix all the ingredients and eat :). It takes less than 10 minutes to prepare enough poke for four people.
