Serving note: Use approximately 5 oz of sausage (about 3 links) from the 20-oz tray, saving the rest for later in the week or freezing. Use half of one 8-oz mushroom pkg (about 4 oz) and roughly 6 oz of Brussels sprouts. Net carbs approximately 8g per serving.

Friday
Meal: Garlic Butter White Shrimp with Broccoli and Carrots
Description: Large white shrimp are sauteed in garlic butter until pink and slightly caramelized, then served alongside steamed broccoli florets and tender baby cut carrots for a light but filling low-carb seafood dinner.

Use about 4 oz of broccoli florets from the second bunch purchased earlier in the week, and about 4 oz of baby carrots (roughly one-quarter of the 1-lb bag).
