Instructions
Wraps
- Whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Bring out a medium-sized frying pan and let the butter melt slowly over medium-low heat.
- Add half of the batter and cook until the wrap has firmed up. Flip if you want, but this is not really necessary. The wraps are not supposed to turn color, just get firm.
- Repeat with remaining batter.
Salad
- Split and scoop out the avocado. Dice the avocado into ½-inch cubes and place in a bowl, squeeze lime juice over them and stir.
- Slice the celery thinly. Add to the bowl with the avocado.
- Add mayonnaise, sambal oelek, and finely chopped cilantro.
- Mix well and stir in the cooked shrimp carefully. Salt and pepper to taste.
Tip!
This shrimp salad can be enjoyed by itself or with leafy greens. Together with a couple of boiled eggs it becomes an entire meal if you don't want to make the wraps. Also works great with low-carb sesame crispbread, LessCarbs’ quick bread and keto pancakes. Examples of other things to fill the wraps with: Salami and brie cheese, tunafish salad or vegetarian with your favorite vegetables and a generous amount of homemade mayonnaise.

At the same time the DMtype2 problems are completely under control. Not one single hypoglycaemia nor hyperglycaemia happened during this period and my physicians and dietician remain speechless.
The polyneuropathy which came along with the diabetes however still persists and will never be cured, but that is something I have already accepted a long time ago.
A huge "thank you very much" and tons of respect go out to dr. Andreas Eenfeldt MD and his entire team for making this possible.
PS. I do not have any "before" and "after" pictures so you will have take my word for it.
Keep up the good work!
That may depend on how big you make the wraps. The recipe as written makes 2 servings.
We generally recommend avoiding "low net carbs" products as they are still wheat based. You can read more in the Foods to Avoid section on this page.
