Are you looking for low-carb-friendly options at Olive Garden? Try this Baked Tilapia with Shrimp. An easy copy cat recipe to make at home as well. This meal is perfect for two people and if I were making this for someone I'd serve some steamed broccoli on the side with cauliflower mashed potatoes to keep this meal low carb.
Several other low carb friendly options are the Minestrone Soup, Pasta Fagioli Soup, Zuppa Toscana Soup, Grilled Chicken Margarita and Herbed Grilled Salmon. A lot of these recipes can be made at home and I have copy cat recipes for them as well.
What Ingredients do I need?
In this section, you can find substitutes or suggestions for certain check here
Tilapia - thawed, or another white fish such as cod or walleye is fine
Shrimp -large or jumbo, peeled and deveined
Chicken Stock - low sodium or unsalted to control to the amount of salt used
Heavy Cream - I have not tried this with any other type of milk, heavy cream just makes the sauce more decadent
Butter - unsalted
Dried Chives or freshly chopped chives
How to make Olive Garden’s Baked Tilapia with Shrimp
- Peel and devein the shrimp. Place the shrimp on one half of a lined sheet tray with parchment paper and the tilapia on the other half of the baking sheet.

I had this at Olive Garden and I loved it! When you say serving size2, do you mean that each serving is 2 pieces of tilapia or that there are 2, 1-piece servings of tilapia? Thanks!
