• 2 tablespoons Fish sauce
• 6 cups Low-sodium chicken broth

• 1 bunch Green onions, sliced
• 0.5 cup Cilantro, chopped
• 1 whole Lime, cut into wedges
• 1 cup Bean sprouts

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and sliced ginger to the pot, sauteing until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 3

Add the star anise, cinnamon stick, and cloves to the pot, stirring for another minute to release their aroma.

Step 4

Pour the chicken broth and water into the pot, then add the fish sauce, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat.

Step 5

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the broth simmer uncovered for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 6

While the broth simmers, prepare your garnishes: slice the green onions, chop the cilantro, and cut the lime into wedges.

Step 7

After 20 minutes, strain the broth to remove the solids, then return it to the pot.

Step 8

Increase the heat to medium-high, add the shrimp, and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through.

Step 9

Remove the pot from heat and stir in the zoodles, letting them sit for a couple of minutes to soften with the residual heat.

Step 10

Serve the Keto Shrimp Pho in bowls, and garnish with green onions, cilantro, bean sprouts, jalapeño slices, and lime wedges.

Step 11

Enjoy your comforting and low-carb shrimp pho.
