Keto Seafood Salad

Do you remember that magically amazing seafood salad that you can only get at a Chinese buffet?

Sometimes it’s called Seafood Delight or Seafood Bake or Crab Casserole or Seafood Casserole, but they’re allll good. They’re stuffed with a variety of seafood, a creamy sauce, and lots of chewy cheese.

I tasted a really good one recently and thought, “This would be so easy to make keto!” A lot of versions of baked seafood casserole probably already ARE keto-friendly. The one I tried probably was.

How to make baked keto seafood salad with tilapia

What type of seafood can I use in keto baked seafood salad?

You can feel free to sub in any type of seafood in this Keto Chinese Buffet Seafood Salad recipe. If you don’t have a clean source for tilapia, use lobster. If you don’t like shrimp, use steak.

Just kidding.

(But isn’t steak ALWAYS good?? I’m thinking a baked surf ‘n’ turf salad is next!)

Most of the Seafood Delight recipes I’ve seen have crab and shrimp, but this recipe is so amazingly flexible, it won’t be a big deal at all to switch one (or both!) out!

I’ve also used imitation crab, but if you do this, watch out for rogue ingredients like gluten or not so keto-friendly ingredients. It’s also more processed, so it may be best to steer clear of imitation crab most of the time.
