Sure! I low carb as well, and while I'm not a super creative cook, I do like to try new things like:

Lamb meatballs - mix with egg as a binder. Add salt and pepper and parsley and drop into a hot pan of butter and olive oil.

Flounder - lightly coat each side of the flounder fillet with dried onions, salt and pepper and fry in virgin coconut oil. Top with freshly diced tomatoes. (the onion part is a little carby, but don't use many of them and only to taste, it's excellent)

I have done low carb in the past. My favorite "carby non-carb" food is mashed cauliflower. I steam cauliflower (Bird's Eye frozen garlic cauliflower works great!) and mash it with a Laughing Cow Cheese wedge and a little sour cream. I usually have that with some type of grilled protein and another veggie.

I like to brown about 1.5 lbs of lean ground turkey, throw in a bag of shredded cabbage and a small can of tomato sauce. Season with salt, pepper and onion powder. It tastes like cabbage rolls.

I also like to roast veggies. A thawed chicken breast cooks in about the same amount of time, so you can throw it all in the oven together. Fish takes about half the time, and so is marginally more complicated. Roast veggies are also good with lean turkey burgers.

For breading or to replace bread crumbs in meatballs I use a any falafel mix that is just ground beans and spices (many have wheat flour). It is already seasoned.

For breading I go even lower carb: 2-3 servings of breading from the following:

1/4 c. almond meal
1/4 c. vital wheat gluten
2 T. Parmesan cheese (powder-like)
Salt & Pepper to taste

Use the standard egg dip: IE: dip meat in 1 egg, then in breading ...

Check out 'bowulf' on YouTube. He's got hundreds of low-carb recipes, some easier than other.

My favorite is a ribeye steak with about 5-6cups of Caesar salad. Instead of just romaine lettuce I add more dark leafy greens such as baby spinich, kale and arugula... Makes it more nutritious.
