P1: Shrimp Scampi - 0g

After 5 days straight of 'cheating' (which is equivalent to not counting carbs, and drinking every day), I'm going back to Ground Zero. I want to put my body through ketosis again - if at all possible. So this meal had virtually NO carbs.  It was a good place to start.
Ingredients:
2 lbs raw shrimp - peeled
4 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp crushed garlic (you can use minced, but I would suggest using a little more then)
4 basil leaves
1 tsp dried basil
5-7 sage leaves
Dash of "Shallot Salt
*You can add some diced onions if you'd like - but they add a few extra carbs.

Melt the butter in a large sauce pan/wok.  Just as butter starts to bubble, add the garlic and mix together. Next stir in your shrimp, and keep the heat on medium to medium-high. As the bottom side begins to turn pink, chop the basil and sage leaves into very fine pieces, and sprinkle in with the shrimp and add dried basil. Continue stirring until both sides have turned a salmon pink color.  Add the shallot salt (or plain salt, and perhaps add a chopped onion to the melted butter at the beginning to saute in the flavor?) to your liking, and enjoy!
