Keto Gamba Tapa
Summer is here and the time is right to invite some friends. In order to stay on the wagon, I only prepare keto-appetizers! Yesterday I was fixing a quick dish with the remains in my fridge. I decided this was a nice recipe to share with you. It would be a nice tapa for the coming apero-parties.
Enjoy this easy recipe!
