Ensopado de Camarão com Palmito e Tomate (Keto)
Shrimp and Heart of Palm Stew with Tomatoes (Keto)
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no rice, cassava (mandioca), or high-carb thickeners are used. About 15g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Brazilian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A delightful and rustic stew featuring succulent shrimp and tender heart of palm, simmered in a light, savory tomato-based sauce, often seasoned with fresh herbs. It's distinct from the richer, coconut-milk based moqueca.
Key ingredients
Shrimp, heart of palm, ripe tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, olive oil, garlic, cilantro, parsley, fish broth.
How to make it keto
Ensure no rice, cassava (mandioca), or high-carb thickeners are used. Confirm no coconut milk or dendê oil if you prefer a non-moqueca style. Request extra low-carb vegetables.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in tomato sauce/paste; starchy thickeners; traditional high-carb accompaniments.
